In June 2006, three friends and media professionals Jennifer Baggett, Holly Corbett and Amanda Pressner—made a collective pact to quit their jobs and embark upon the ultimate adventure: a year-long, around-the-world trip.

This was well before “The Great Resignation” and the trend of employees leaving their jobs in droves to better align their work with their values and what matters most.

After nearly two years of planning and saving by taking freelance assignments and selling some of their belongings, the three women journeyed across four continents and more than a dozen countries. They shared their experiences with other aspiring vagabonds on their blog, LostGirlsWorld.com.

At its height, LostGirlsWorld.com received nearly 40,000 unique visitors a month looking for destination information and stories of inspiration. LostGirlsWorld.com was recognized as Winner of the 2007 Travvies Award for “Best Group Written Travel Blog” and a Finalist in both the  2007 Blogger’s Choice Awards and 2008 Weblog Awards.

In 2008, the three women signed on with HarperCollins to turn their tales into a travel memoir, which hit shelves in May 2010. Soon after, the entertainment rights to the book were purchased by Warner Bros. Studio as a feature film and later by producer Jerry Bruckheimer as a scripted television series.

Today, more than 15 years after their year-long adventure, they’ve continued to fulfill their pact to each other: To take one trip a year together for the rest of our lives. Rather than a three-week dive trip to Borneo, today it might only be a weekend away near their hometown, but they’ve always stayed committed to their promise.
