I'm a Software Engineer who decided there must be more to life than sitting at a desk.<p>I saved as hard as I could for 12 months, and set-off for 2 years and drove 40,000 miles from Alaska to Argentina. That trip changed my life. (<a href="http://theroadchoseme.com/expedition-overview" rel="nofollow">http://theroadchoseme.com/expedition-overview</a>)<p>I returned to a desk and saved and saved and saved for over four years, built my dream Jeep, and am right now driving all the way around Africa, probably for about 2 years and 80,000 miles through ~30 countries.

I am in Cameroon, and meeting all kinds of interesting people and learning so much more than I have up until now in my life (I'm 35).<p>I am living almost entirely on savings, though I am attempting to move into photography/writing as a "career" and currently earn a little from that.<p>If anyone is interested, AMA.

I have mastered annual 2 week travel instead. Much harder.<p>Not joking. You have to plan well, you don't have the luxury of slipping dates, you want to optimise dead-time, compromise between time and cost, synchronise with your project's schedule, family and of course be patient enough to last until its beginning.
This site is a perfect example of intrusive and exit-intent advertising. It is near unusable on mobile and exit-intent is exactly the wrong time to ask more of someone - like hanging into someone's sleeve as they try to leave your store.
