Hi Robert,

Firstly thanks for all you do for the escapologist movement, I’ve loved reading all your newsletters and magazines since I stumbled across a copy in a Hackney coffee shop.

It struck a chord. My girlfriend and I had been asking ourselves if this (corporate London etc etc) is really all there is. We were pondering our own escapes but we didn’t have the words to express these plans nor the knowledge that we were missing out on a whole community of escapologists that you’re smack in the centre of!

We’ve since quit our jobs, travelled for 6 months and are now trying to find work on our own terms, which is scary but thrilling in equal measure.

In our final weeks of travel I ordered Issue 19 from my hostel in Mexico to ensure I had the fresh copy waiting at home for my arrival.

Kind Regards,

A

And no matter what happens next, you have lived. You made the uncommon choice and actually lived.
