Why I’m Leaving Everything Behind for 13 Months — The full story of how a 13-month, 21-country sabbatical went from spreadsheet fantasy to real life. This is Episode 1.

Sabbatical Series

What does it actually take to walk away from a stable career for 13 months? Not the highlight version—the real one, with the budget spreadsheets, the visa timelines, the health prep, and the 2am second-guessing that comes with telling your employer, your family, and yourself that you’re leaving.

These videos document the full pre-departure process for a 21-country sabbatical: how the budget came together, what you figure out early, and what you only understand once the bag is packed and the ticket is bought. New episodes through summer 2026.

Ep. 1: Why I’m Leaving Everything Behind for 13 Months

Travel Vlogs

Not quick tours. The plan is slow travel—weeks in a place, not days—which means getting past the tourist version and into something more real. What’s the market like at 7am? What does it cost to live somewhere for a month? What happens when the freedom you’ve been dreaming about is finally right in front of you?

From beer halls in Berlin to pottery studios in Chiang Mai to salt flats in Bolivia, the sabbatical covers 21 countries over 13 months. Full vlogs launch August 3, 2026, when the trip begins.

Ren Live

Ren’s music found me when I needed it most—after losing both of my parents, within a decade of each other. Songs like “Hi Ren” and “Chalk Outlines” helped me process grief I didn’t have words for yet. That’s not something you forget, and it’s not something you watch from a couch when the chance to see it live comes around.

Four live shows in 2026. The first is London in May—the unofficial kickoff of the sabbatical. Concert diary, live footage, and honest reflection on what this music means. The Boomtown show follows in August.
