“It was time to step into travel and see where it would take us — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.”
What happens when you put successful careers on pause, pack up your life, and set out on a midlife gap year?
For Andrew Pettifer and his wife Tracy, it meant two years, five continents — and a journey filled with unforgettable adventures.
From the chaos of Tokyo’s Shibuya crossing to the elegance of Paris during the Olympics… from the depths of the Amazon to the wonder of the Galápagos Islands… from RV life in the Outback to five-star hotels and sports cars — their travels capture both the thrill of discovery and the deeper questions that arise when you step outside your comfort zone.
Along the way, Andrew and Tracy meet extraordinary people, face unexpected challenges (including earthquakes, endurance trails, and golf on the Nullarbor), and discover what really matters when the world becomes your classroom.
Travels with Tales from a Midlife Gap Year is a fast-paced, witty, and deeply thoughtful memoir that will inspire you to rethink your own journey — and maybe even start one.
