Changing your life


Rich and Amanda Ligato were professional people with successful careers. Every
week, they worked hard. They often intended to do something fun and exciting at
the weekend but, in the end, there was never time. One day they asked themselves,
‘Is this all there is?’

They realised that they wanted to stop working and to go travelling. Or, as Rich
said, ‘To buy our freedom.’ But first they needed to save some money. Every
month they lived on Rich’s salary and saved Amanda’s. Then they bought a
campervan to travel from the bottom of South America to Brazil and from there
they hoped to get to Africa on a container ship.

Colleagues at work found their decision difficult to understand. Even their closest
friends thought they were crazy to go on this kind of journey but finally, the day
came. They left their home and started to live their dream.
