Hello!   There's not any doubt I had a very interesting job that I couldn't part together without regrets, so the choice to leave was difficult. I reported departing in a month, my colleagues encouraged me and allow me to go. My wife worked in a rather conservative company, where individuals have additional values: mortgage, auto, flat repair, cabin, holiday . He decided not to inform his colleagues about his plans. The business was getting cuts, therefore we can say that the urge to part was mutual.
We dedicated our lives to our own hobbies, by way of example, I can not live without surfing. I don't live near the ocean, surfing doesn't occur very often, skills that are not fixed in practice quickly go away. Each moment, if I don't learn again, I have to seriously roll back. Thus far, after several surfing trips to several waves at Bali, Portugal and the Canary Islands, I haven't grown into one of people that are enchanted to look in from the shore. Surfing is a standard daily avocation and partially a way of life, let us say that I renounce this standing, as the traditional surfer stereotype:"Live relaxation and revel in the ocean" - really restricting, and this lifestyle is very boring, known! Surfing attracted me by its own elegance and spontaneity, perhaps the toughest thing I've tried in my entire life, based on improvement and time . In the meantime, we are not afraid to our future. There is a whole lot of interesting trips ahead of us.
My name is Federico, I'm 27 years old, and I graduated from Berkeley College Economics. For the last few years I've been working in PR: initially I worked in bureaus, and also for the last two years ahead of my dismissal I was PR director of a huge online business. We enjoy the life of downshifter. Online support https://rove.me/ helps us to plan another route.
The concept of downshiftering implies giving up a career for the sake of life in a person's own pleasure. And it is not necessarily a complete rejection of work.
