The Seven Year Hitch

This is the story of a married couple who decide in their mid-thirties to give up their good jobs, leave their friends and family, sell everything, buy an RV (recreational vehicle) and live and work on the road full time which is what they end up doing for seven years. They decide to do this journey to grow, to stretch and face whatever uncertainty comes up head on and to experience life from a whole different perspective. It is a wonderful lesson about staying true to your dream even during the tough times and about trusting and believing in yourself. It is a story of slowing down the hectic pace of our everyday lives and actually taking time to be instead of always doing.
