In early 2018, Gary Hawkins and his wife, Yafei Zhu, made a monumental change in their lives - they both quit their high-tech jobs at the peak of their careers and decided to travel around the world with their daughter, Joy. Gary had planned on retiring in his early fifties inspired by his working-class parents who achieved the same goal thirty years earlier; while Yafei wanted to be a fully engaged parent during Joy’s formative years. Different goals in life have led them both to explore "A Life Redesigned" - a transition away from the traditional American Dream to a simpler, family-centric traveling experience. The book [A Life Redesigned] was therefor born.Their travels are not based on the usual sense of short-term trips to tick off another item on a bucket list.
