You don't have an information problem.
You know it's possible. You've read the articles. You follow the accounts. You've done the math in your head more times than you'd like to admit.
What you have is a permission problem.
And underneath that: money that doesn't feel real enough, a job you don't know how to leave, people in your life who don't understand, and a version of yourself that keeps moving the finish line.
This kit is for that.
Not a course or a checklist. A workspace.
The Leave Anyway Kit is a 10-section Notion workspace: part guided journal, part honest framework, part practical planning tool.
Each section pairs a real story from the road with reflection prompts, decision tools, and the specific, unglamorous guidance you don't find in travel content, the sort that only comes from having actually done it.
It doesn't tell you to leave. It helps you figure out whether you're ready, and if you are, what's actually in the way.
Your workspace. Your pace. No deadline.

Permission
Before the logistics and the checklists, there's this. Reflection prompts and a personal decision journal to help you name what you actually want and what's actually stopping you. Not what you tell people, what's underneath that.
What if it doesn't work
The fear nobody says out loud. We do. What failure actually looks like on the road, and why it's almost never what you imagine.
The people who don't get it
Your parents. Your coworkers. The friends who think you're having a crisis. How to handle the conversations that feel the hardest before you leave.
Money
Not a generic savings calculator. Real numbers from real years on the road. A framework for figuring out your actual monthly burn rate, building a real runway, and knowing what "enough" actually looks like for your situation.
The job
Whether you're leaving it, remote-ing it, or figuring that part out, this section covers the honest options, the conversations worth having, and what we've seen work.
Stuff
The great purge. What to keep, what to let go, and how to stop using "I don't know what to do with my stuff" as a reason to stay.
The logistics layer
Mail. Insurance. Banking that works across borders. The phone plan. The things nobody puts in the inspirational content because they're not romantic, but they'll absolutely derail you if you don't handle them before you leave.
Health
Coverage that doesn't require a permanent address. What to do before you go. What we've actually used out there.
Relationships
What it's really like to travel as a couple. What it's like to leave people behind. What the road does to the people you love. The honest version, not the highlight reel.
The first 30 days
The part after you leave. What actually happens, what usually surprises people, and how to give yourself the best chance of making it past the moment when you wonder what you were thinking.
- You've been thinking about this for more than a year and you're tired of thinking about it
- You need to see the whole picture (money, fear, logistics, relationships) in one place before you can move
- You want guidance from people who actually did it, not a course from someone who got paid to teach it
- You're ready to stop waiting for the version of yourself that has everything figured out
You're looking for destination guides, itineraries, or gear recommendations. That's not this.
This is for the decision. The before.

We're Jesse and Karlee.
We've spent eight years living full-time in a van: 48 states, eight months across Southeast Asia, and more wrong turns than we can count, most of which led somewhere better than where we were headed.
We didn't build this kit because we had everything figured out. We built it because we didn't, and we spent years collecting what we wish we'd had before we left.
The Leave Anyway Kit is what we would have given ourselves at the beginning.

Do I need to know Notion already?
No. The template is set up and ready to use. If you've never opened Notion before, there's a short orientation at the top of the workspace.
Is this for van life specifically?
The examples draw on our van life experience, but the framework applies to any long-term travel — sabbatical, slow travel, extended trip, or full location independence.
What if I've already started planning?
Jump to whichever sections are still live for you. You don't have to work through it in order.
What's the refund policy?
Because this is a digital product delivered instantly, we don't offer refunds. If something isn't working with your access, reach out and we'll sort it.
