Live your dream
I connected with Val awhile ago and have enjoyed watching her journey take shape. Recently, she sold everything and moved to a city in Mexico sight unseen to pursue a dream. I’m so glad she agreed to be interviewed, and I hope you enjoy reading her story and that it inspires you to live your dream. You recently sold most of your possessions, including your home, to create a new life for yourself. Where did you move and why did you...

Romania by train journey

For the budget-minded traveler, it’s a perfect place as well. Living and traveling around Romania is extremely affordable.
