Empty nest syndrome is what many parents go through after their kids start living on their own. Chris and Galina Saye, both 52, decided to spend a gap year on their own after their youngest son left home. Travelling together brought them to a discovery of new things about every place.
Looking for a new purpose they visited four of the world’s ‘Blue Zones,’ classified by National Geographic Fellow Dan Buettner as the places where people live the longest and are healthiest. The couple traveled the world learning about longevity, family values, hard work, food and community.
