You are looking for something to reenergize or reboot your life. Like trying a change of setting via living somewhere else for a while. It's a great option if it is possible for you.
Maybe you were thinking about becoming an expat and moving to another country, or about slow traveling overseas for long periods. But you are a bit hesitant about making the leap, or the logistics and costs are a bit too daunting.
One option is to consider a slow travel trip in your home country first to see how you like living in a new and different place for an extended period, away from your home base, family, and friends.
It's an easy way to do a test run before making the leap. And a great way to get see your home country in more depth.
And it is a great way to "reboot" your life via a dramatic new experience.

And in case you were wondering, our channel title "89 Days Away" refers to the typical 90day visitor limit for staying in a country or area (such as the EU Schengen Zone) before having to become an official resident.
We try to maintain a lean, scaled back lifestyle in the US, and spend around 1/2 of our year living overseas as "slow travelers", within those time limits, to get the overall expat experience without having to become a full time resident of the foreign country.
Our channel started out talking about that lifestyle, but has morphed into other topics related to this stage of life that we find interesting.
We hope that you find the topics interesting as well.
