Just Go!: Leave the Treadmill for a World of Adventure

by Skip Yetter, Gabrielle Yetter

In 2010, Skip and Gabi Yetter quit their jobs, sold their home, gave away most of their possessions and bought one-way tickets to Cambodia. They wanted to see more, do more, experience new things and break away from their traditional lifestyle. Along the way, they met dozens of people like themselves: individuals, couples and families who'd decided to opt out of conventional lifestyles and travel to other parts of the world - whether in midlife or just starting out.

Just Go! is about that journey. It's about discovering ways to make a change-whether it's quitting a job, moving across the world or finding a new direction. It's about developing tools, plans and checklists so you can re-chart your life. Written by two career journalists, Just Go! is a self-help book and a true-life storybook for anyone considering, procrastinating, researching or thinking about stepping off the treadmill to explore new horizons.

Lots of food for thought. I appreciated all the different perspectives and getting the different budget breakdowns. Also, the list of resources is great. The only question left is - is it for me? Maybe!

If you are thinking about chucking it all - and I mean ALL - and dramatically changing your life, read this book now. The authors did just that, and their firsthand report of both the preparation and the result will either push you forward or give you second thoughts. Not everyone is as intrepid as these two, but everyone will enjoy reading about their decision to sell everything and live abroad, working first as volunteers for an international organization in Cambodia and later as house sitters in both Europe and other parts of the world. Whether or not you decide to follow in the Yetters' peripatetic footsteps, this book will cause you to rethink your life choices and perhaps seek out more of the world's myriad opportunities.

Exciting stories

A good read with lots of Valuable info. A bit disjoint and repetitive and could use an edit, but well worth the time and money to read this book if you are considering this lifestyle.

Love this book! Largely geared to international travel but inspires me to travel state side as well! It is a real eye opener to the cost of living in greater Boston! I will Just Go as soon as my lease is up in September! Thank you Skip and Gabi!

The Yetters tell the story of leaving their busy, consumer style life behind for a world of travel. They also capsulize the stories of a number of other people - singles, couples and families that have left behind U.S. Lifestyles to travel the world and experience a different sort of life.

Fascinating and inspiring read, if you can ignore the editorial and grammatical errors. Great resources provided at the end for additional research.
