It’s a common story among people who have made travel their life. They are living the corporate lifestyle and desperately unhappy. They change to make room for more travel, taking a pay cut, but transforming into a happier person.
Barbara Weibel is one of these people. She started the blog Hole in the Donut and wrote about her six month ’round the world trip. Since returning, she’s continued with the blog, traveling more than ever and loving it.
“Having deserted the world of money and material luxuries for a simpler, happier life, Hole in the Donut also often features stories of like-minded people I meet on the road,” she says.
While she still writes about her personal travels, her blog is now a mishmash of pop culture, hometown explorations, travel book reviews and cool stuff she finds on the internet. She writes from a Baby Boomer’s perspective, but most of her blog is applicable to all age brackets.
I found the article about classical violinist Joshua Bell playing undercover in the Washington subway especially interesting.
