Inspired by a trip around the world in 2008, they sold everything to travel the world indefinitely.
In that year, Simon and Erin say they experienced more than they had in the previous ten.

“It was awe-inspiring and beautiful and frustrating and scary and exciting – it was everything but dull,” Simon says.
After they returned to the UK, they found it difficult to get back into the “normal” routine that they’d left.
The mortgage, the bills, the car, the accumulated junk, the tedious repetitiveness of the nine to five.
Having experienced the vastness of the world and all of the opportunity out there, they could not fit back into business as usual.
So they’re heading off again, but this time, for good.
“We’ve sold everything we own, quit our jobs, rented out our house and we’re heading out to play dice with destiny,” Simon says.
They’re starting their journey in South America and plan on traveling for as long as possible, to figure out how to become fully fledged digital nomads, making a living as they travel on their Never Ending Voyage.
Along with their travel blog, readers get great tips on long-term travel like saving 75% of your income and packing when you are leaving forever.
