{"product_id":"packing-light-377461","title":"Packing Light","description":"***How do you pack for all fifty states?***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When I was in college, I figured my life would come together around graduation. I'd meet a guy; we'd plan a beautiful wedding and buy a nice house-not necessarily with a picket fence, but with whatever kind of fence we wanted. I might work, or I might not, but whatever we decided, I would be happy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When I got out of college and my life didn't look like that, I floundered around, trying to figure out how to get the life I had always dreamed of. I went down so many different paths for it. Career. Travel. Friends. Relationships. But none of them were as satisfying as I hoped they would be.\u0026amp;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like many twenty-somethings, I tried desperately to discover the life of my dreams after college, but instead of finding it, I just kept *\u003cstrong\u003eaccumulating baggage\u003c\/strong\u003e*. I had school loans, car payments, electronics I couldn't afford, a house full of mismatched furniture I didn't love but that had become my own, hurt from broken relationships, and unmet expectations for what life was \"supposed to be\" like.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Just when I had given up all hope of finding the \"life I'd always dreamed about,\" I decided to take a trip to all fifty states...because when you go on a trip, you can't take your baggage. What I found was that \"packing light\" wasn't as easy as I thought it was.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e *This is the story of that trip and learning to live life with less baggage.*","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51564996264223,"sku":"9780802407290","price":22.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780802407290_1006751.jpg?v=1769215047","url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/products\/packing-light-377461","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
