This couple sold all their possessions, bought a yacht and since August 12, 2011 has been living the way many of us dream. Matt and Jessica Johnson, 32, had a good job: he sold cars, and she was a billing manager.
To date, the Johnsons have already visited 16 countries, including the Bahamas, Jamaica, Cuba and Peru. Their cat Georgie, who can swim, travels with them!
"We were living a typical American dream. We graduated, got married, bought a house, made a career. We haven't had time to have 2.5 children yet! — said the couple in an interview with the Daily Mail. — We spent too many weekends watching TV, not doing anything pleasant and useful. We realized that we need to change something!"
