Woman sells home to travel full-time in truck after dad's unexpected death: 'Life is for living'
Briefly

Ashley Kay, a 36-year-old woman from Wisconsin, decided to sell her family home and travel the world following her father's death in December 2015. Moved by stories of his travels shared by friends and family, Kay spent several years exploring the world. An encounter with a full-time traveler in Roatán inspired her further, leading her to sell her home in March 2023. She purchased a Toyota Tacoma for $44,000 and has since traveled through North and South America with her dog, Porter, particularly enjoying Baja, Mexico.
"The year after he passed, there were so many friends and family who would call and share these wild, amazing stories about my dad and his travels."
"He would hitchhike, get buses, couch-surf and that sort of stuff."
"His answer to me was that he didn't go sooner - and that was the last straw for me."
"It has such beautiful nature, I love the ocean, and the Sea of Cortez is a place of pure joy."
