Bob and his wife were unhappy with their high-pressure jobs and city life, so they sold their property and moved to Belize to work on a horse farm in exchange for room and board.

The experience led them to find a simple life back in the US, living in an intentional community focused on sustainability and support. The writer encourages stepping away from your current life and immersing yourself in another culture to gain clarity.
