    Couple quit dream jobs to live out of a rucksack and travel the world

    19 april 2016
    Charlotte Bailey, 24, from Leek, Staffordshire, and Charlie White, 25, from Daventry, Northamptonshire, decided to quit their jobs - which combined brought in £50,000 a year - for a life on the road.
    Packing just a rucksack each, the pair started their travelling four months ago after saving £24,000 in nine months.
    Bailey, a former air hostess, and White, a property manager, took up nine jobs between them in their home towns after quitting full-time work.
    After months of researching the best locations in the world, they were desperate to make their travelling dream a reality.
    The couple have set up a travel blog called The Wanderlovers and hope to inspire other young people to take the plunge and travel the world.
    "Although sometimes we would have to work double shifts on very little sleep, we knew the end goal of seeing the world would be worthwhile.
    "Once we'd saved £24,000 we decided to book our one way tickets to Delhi, India, taking just one backpack each."
    "There's so many ways to earn money while travelling and I hope our story illustrates that you don't need to be rich to see the world."
