Or, in the case of our guests today, about six months. Mike and Megan left their jobs in Washington DC, and before they decided to go anywhere else, they wanted to live a mini life.

And, they came to Medellín. I sat down with them in a cafe to hear their story. You’re going to hear:

Their philosophy behind living a mini-life. What did they want to get from the experience?
How did they make the decision that the financial investment was worth it for them?
What have they learned from the experience? How has it really tested them?

If you’ve been considering planning a mini-life, check out the bonus content for this episode on LYW Elite. About twenty minutes of this conversation ended up on the cutting-room floor. I shared some tips I’ve learned over the years for planning a successful mini-life.
