Today I am excited to bring you a very special interview with my guest Katie Aune. Katie and I actually talk Career Breaks on a weekly basis over on clubhouse (Thursdays at 5pm Eastern). Katie took a chance to seize an opportunity to experience long term travel in a way that you simply cannot travel with a full-time job. Her itinerary is beyond intriguing (I will keep this mysterious) and ultimately she returned to a very fulfilling career. Another awesome example that you can have the career and the travel. There is nothing wrong with taking a break!
