Have you ever dreamed about moving to a place that you’ve visited? Dreamed about spending a winter skiing in the Rockies, or surfing in Byron Bay?
Living in a tourist town is something a lot of us think of doing, but not everyone actually goes for it.
So many people have a vision of quitting their job, and leaving the city they’ve been living in. There are so many amazing places that people visit on trips, and the memory never completely goes away. Something about the place calls you back.
We always knew that we wanted to settle into one of the place we had travelled to, but never really expected it to be so close to home. We had a plan to spend a summer in the mountains near our former home of Calgary, and over a year later we were still there. The entire time since we started our travel podcast, we have been living in Canmore.
In this episode of the podcast you’ll learn:
- What is like to quit your career and start working in the service industry in a tourist town
- What happens to your perspective on a place when you are living there instead of visiting
- Where you should go if you are visiting Canmore and Banff
- What we miss about living in a small town
- Why you should give in to your desire to spend some time living in one of the awesome places that you’ve visited
- How quitting your job can be a positive career move
