Inspirational Travel Quote

"When people fire themselves, they set their own limitations"

The Moment That Finally Propelled Chris To Travel

Chris shares about how he got laid off from his job and decided to go on a real vacation in over 10 years. Also, personally, he and his wife had never been on a honeymoon so they decided that "if they don't do this now, when are they ever going to do it?"

"It's time to take care of ourselves and so we did"

Life Changing Epiphanies

"There's something magical and different when you go out of the country, away from America, and you experience the culture and all these different stuff like the food."

"Once we were there, like I felt like I had been living there my whole life, it just clicks and something happens and you just start doing it."

Final Parting Words For the Travel Community

"Do not, by all means, think twice about traveling out of the country."

Thank you Chris for spending the time to chat with us about your experience in Italy. It was so much fun to hear your stories and insights.

And apologies about the poor audio quality on my end but I promise that this is the last interview where I'm not using the Blue Yeti :)
