It all begin with this question: how much money does it take to quit your job? Despite having achieved her career goals in LA, Janice Macleod was on the verge of burnout, and she had to find an escape. So she created savings plan to buy herself two years of freedom in Europe. Two days into her stop in Paris, she met Christophe, who worked in the butcher shop across from the cafe where she wrote. A sizzling romance began, yet soon her wanderlust pushed her to continue her travels. But his Daniel Craig good looks and big Buddha heart convinced her to return. She moved in with Christophe in 2012, and once she settled in, her dwindling savings forced her to find a way to fund her dreams again. So, drawing on her deep desire to create, she started a painted letter subscription service. Now, she sends out thousands of letters to people who are hungry to receive something beautiful.

This book is for those who dream of a life richer and more fulfilling–a story of daring to discover a better life.

A delightfully written memoir, I found it engaging and heart warming. I found it inspiring, and have been tempted to follow in the author’s footsteps to France.
