What if you didn't have to work for 10+ straight years to retire? What if you could take short breaks on the way to early retirement?

Today's guest does just that. Lauren works as a relief veterinarian 6 months of the year and goes on jealousy-inducing long thru-hikes the rest of the year. A relief vet is like a traveling nurse.... but for animals, not humans. She has set up an amazing lifestyle and is living life on her terms. By keeping her expenses and debt to a minimum early in life, Lauren was able to craft the kind of lifestyle she wanted..... not what the world told her to do.

Lauren is in absolute control over her life and she is crushing it!
