On This Day In Women’s History:
January 16, 1932:Dian Fossey was born.

Leigh Wilson Trades Corporate Life for a Nomadic Adventure at 42
Leigh Wilson, a 20-year corporate veteran from Chicago, made a courageous decision to break free from the traditional career path. After a transformative trip to Southeast Asia in 2016, she felt a profound desire to travel more deeply and embrace a nomadic lifestyle. Despite the fear and uncertainty, Leigh decided to leave her corporate career behind and launched the website "Campfires & Concierges."
Alongside her loyal canine companion, she embarked on a six-month, 10,000-mile road trip through the American Southwest and Baja Mexico. To turn this dream into reality, Leigh downsized her life, selling her home and cutting back on expenses. Her story illustrates that it's never too late to pursue a different, more fulfilling path, and sometimes, trading corporate life for a nomadic adventure can lead to unexpected joy and fulfillment.
