A world tour is something many people only dream about, but this couple is making it a reality before finally putting down roots in Canada.
Moving to Canada
Gillian Ackland and her partner Donal left their lives in Ireland as a sales manager and offshore engineer (respectively) and went off to see the world, according to
IrishTimes.com. Ackland said they "rarely had the chance to just see each other, let alone go on holidays together."
She said that three years of work and facing burnout prompted them both to seek a change of pace and place.
"The career opportunities and outdoor lifestyle of Canada tempted us and we successfully applied for a two-year working holiday visa," Ackland said. "When we read the fine print we realized we could enter Canada up to a year after receiving the visa. This sparked our imaginations," she added.
So with that in mind, they decided to see and experience as much of the world as possible and at the time of the article, they were in Mysore, India -- the 226th day of their world tour with "a great dent in our savings fund but experiences we wouldn't swap for anything."
