During our drink, he suggested we rent our house and travel for six months.
Renting our Palo Alto home wasn't that simple; this was before the era of Airbnb and digital nomads.
Our home was still rented when we returned to Palo Alto after ending our period abroad.
Happily, we can write in Eureka, Guanajuato, in our camper van, or wherever in the world we happen to be.
