 If you want to follow along to get the behind the scenes details of our family gap year you can subscribe to our email list; ordinarysherpa.com/subscribe and make sure to select Family Gap Year Adventures as one of your topics.  If you would like an episode or blog post of anything specifc or to go deeper on a topic that I mention please reach out via email or on social media.  I recognize we are living a Beyond Normal lifestyle (which I detail in my book) and love questions that you might have to help you and your family better connect through adventure in whatever format that looks like.   Today our guest is another amazing example of a Beyond Normal lifestyle and much of that is through the lens of simplicity and minimalism.  However his blog post titled Travel is overrated, here’s what to do instead got my attention.  We often talk about the simple adventures we can do in our own backyard while being open to bigger and bold moves toward an adventurous lifestyle.  Our guest is a financial planner by day and enjoys biking, farmers' markets, libraries, and coffee shops. Volunteerism is also one of his favorite weekend activities, specifically in the sustainability arena. With a passion for cars and a disdain for liars; Vegan food is his jam. He tries to spend in an intentional manner, to allow himself to one day be financially independent to focus on the civic causes that he is passionate about.
