What if the biggest risk isn't quitting your job to travel but staying in a life that doesn't fulfill you?
Today Ryan sits down with Anne-Marie, a 30-something who did the unthinkable. One week after a major life event, she walked into her boss's office and quit her job of nearly 10 years. No backup plan. No guarantees. Just a burning need to finally live.
Jump ahead two years and she's celebrating Day of the Dead in Oaxaca with strangers who became family, celebrating her birthday in Buenos Aires with friends she met days earlier, and finding out if Rio De Janeiro is truly too dangerous for a solo woman.
