Welcome to Quest Play Love!
>>> Travel blog# 1 >> archives
We are Paulo and Annie, a married couple living in Vancouver, Canada. In 2014, we took a leap of faith to pursue our dream of long-term travel. 10 years ago, we began preparing for our year-long sabbatical, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have both of our employers graciously approve our leave of absence.
Our journey began with a checklist: renting out our apartment, selling our car, and decluttering our lives. Our goal is to recalibrate and slow down, allowing us to truly "smell the roses" and focus on our hobbies and passions. We want to take our time, immerse ourselves in local cultures, meet new people, and explore the world one step at a time. This journey is about finding fulfillment through fun, happiness, and our love for each other.
We named our blog Quest Play Love to reflect our adventures and the joy we find in life. Our friends and family have been extremely supportive of our decision to travel long-term, and this blog will help us stay connected with them while we explore.
As Mark Twain said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Join us on our adventure!
