After 17 years at Walmart, I wanted an adventure – so I quit and sold my condo to go live in an RV
This is an as-told-to essay based on an interview with Lee Jeyes, a 32-year-old from Toronto who left his job at Walmart after almost 17 years to live and work in an RV. The following has been edited for length and clarity.
I made the decision after doing an activity called"freedom from fear" in January. It involved asking myself"what is one of my biggest dreams in life?" and"what are all the things that I really want to achieve?"One of the biggest fears I had was getting older and looking back on my life with regret. So I chose to step away from my career and go traveling.
After leaving Walmart in February, I spent time with family and friends in the UK and I started building a few exciting new ventures. I also liquidated 95% of my assets to unlock capital to invest in other opportunities. I also had savings to fund my adventure.I've been living in the RV with my dog Wally for just over two months now in a campsite in Ontario. I plan to visit all of western Canada over the next few months.
