At age 30, Kim Dinan gave up everything she’d worked for to chase a dream. She convinced her husband to uproot their comfortable life in Portland, Oregon, to go after something she really wanted deep down inside: to travel the world, and to write. They sold their house, got rid of most of their possessions, and set off on a journey that ended up lasting several years. All along the way, she wrote, starting with a blog called So Many Places, that began to gain a large, loyal following. In April 2017, Kim then realized another of her greatest dreams, which was to see her own book on the shelves of her favorite bookstores. Her memoir, The Yellow Envelope, chronicles her and her husband’s sabbatical journey and also how they ended up giving small charitable gifts to people they met along the way. In this interview, Kim shares with host Lisa Hoashi what went into her decision to take her sabbatical leap, how she and her husband made it happen, and how she used her break to become a professional writer.

Kim and Margaret met in Ecuador in 2012. Kim and her husband quit their jobs, sold their house and everything in it and set out to travel the world in 2012. Ecuador was their first stop. They kept traveling for five years. Throughout the journey, Kim was working on her memoir, The Yellow Envelope. Kim talks about writing her book, how writing a blog made her braver, and Margaret and Kim bond over having life coaches! Visit her website and purchase her book at kimdinan.com.

Kim Dinan and her husband Brian had a great life in Portland Oregon with good jobs, a cool house and everything was going just fine when one day she thought, "there’s got to be more to life than paychecks and mortgages." That thought propelled them to quit their jobs and sell everything they owned to travel around the world and at their going away party, one of their friends handed them a gift. A yellow envelope. And in it was $1,000 dollars and instructions to give the money away to those that they encounter on their journey. “Fear is not an indication that we should stop.” Kim Dinan Now 6 years later, Kim has just published a book that details the peaks and valleys of their life changing journey. And the title of her book is, The Yellow Envelope. In this episode we discuss... Day dreaming in her cubicle about quitting her job to travel around the world. How she had to convince her husband to go along with her plan. The unexpected gift of a Yellow Envelope containing $1,000 with simple instructions. The difficulty of giving away money.

One Envelope, One Thousand Dollars, and One Life-Changing Adventure.  After Kim and her husband decide to quit their jobs to travel around the world, they're given a yellow envelope containing a check and instructions to give the money away. The only three rules for the envelope: Don't overthink it; share your experiences; don't feel pressured to give it all away. Through Ecuador, Peru, Nepal, and beyond, Kim and Brian face obstacles, including major challenges to their relationship. As she distributes the gift to people she encounters along the way she learns that money does not have a thing to do with the capacity to give, but that giving―of ourselves―is transformational. Kim's writing has appeared in Parks and Recreation Magazine, Northwest Travel Magazine, Trailer Life Magazine, Go Explore Magazine and OnTrak Magazine, among others. Her popular blog, So Many Places, was named one of the best outdoor blogs by USA Today and has been featured online by sites such as Huffington Post and BuzzFeed. Her debut memoir, The Yellow Envelope, is available now. She lives in Ohio with her husband and daughter.

Library Foundation Writer-in-Residence Kurt Dinan interviews his cousin, Kim Dinan, about how her love of travel led to her new book "The Yellow Envelope."

Today’s guest is Kim Dinan, author of the memoir, The Yellow Envelope: One Gift, Three Rules, and a Life Changing Journey Around the World. She has backpacked to over twenty-five countries on five continents. Her love of the outdoors landed her a coveted job on Backpacker Magazine’s Get Out More Tour and has compelled her to climb mountains in the Himalayas, raft frigid rivers in Patagonia, and walk five hundred and fifty miles across Spain on her own. Her popular travel blog, So Many Places, was named one of the best outdoor blogs by USA Today and has been featured online by such sites as Huffington Post and BuzzFeed. Kim joins host Mindy McGinnis to talk about the difference between querying fiction and non-fiction and her need to write that started with a blog, and culminated with a memoir, as well as writing the truth in non-fiction even when it’s not flattering to yourself or others, and trying not to take reviews personally when you write memoir. Also, Kim’s journeys around the world and her take on active motherhood. Links: Kim's Site Kim's Blog
