  Career break

  In July of this year, I took the leap of faith of leaving a steady job to fulfil a life long dream of driving through Europe in an old VW camper van. The solo trip meant that I further developed my problem solving skills, and ability to trust in my own ability and judgement. I kept a blog about the trip and it's ups, downs, trials and triumphs here: http://www.travelpod.com/members/amyandlily
