Our Expat Plan: Kicking Off Our Adventures in Guatemala & Martinique
WORDS & IMAGES BY JESSICA FOUST
Last summer, due to political events in the States, I started asking my husband, Gareth, if we could “disappear for a while.” When we were first married in Fall 2021, we had committed to try to live in such a way that we could travel and experience life in other parts of the world.
Simultaneously, one of my bigger “ends-in-a-zero” birthdays was approaching, and I really wanted to mark it with accomplishing a life goal or two. We were already on mid-career work sabbaticals (I’m a file clerk and librarian, and Gareth’s worked as an electric station operator), so this seemed the perfect time to do some living abroad.
