A Year Off is one part travel guide, one part travel essays and photos, and one part memoir documenting the story of Alexandra and David Brown, a couple who decided to take a year off from their jobs and 'regular lives' to travel the world together after only knowing each other for a few months. With many gorgeous photographs and actionable travel advice, A Year Off captures all the beauty and magic of the wanderlust spirit, guiding readers on how to take the same leap and showing them just how doable a journey this type of round-the-world travel is. Each chapter provides perspectives from both authors and tackles a different part of the journey, including:
A look into David and Alexandra's story as they traveled the world together and got to know one another.Colorful essays about adventure travel and all the life-changing moments that come along with it.

I enjoyed this. At first I was a little put off by the “tips” – I just wanted to read their story and glean my own takeaways – but by halfway through I started enjoying the way the pulled the insights out. For anyone thinking of taking time off from “regular life” to travel extensively, this is a great read. Thanks to Patte Shetler for the recommendation.
