How much would you give up for true love?
Would you leave your family behind, with no guarantee of a happy outcome?
Or will the idea of turning your whole lifestyle on its head end up being a deal-breaker for you?
When faced with this question, Jen a day-spa-loving mom of four decided to go all in.
Just as she expected, the move came with some rough spots.
But it also came with some unexpected happy surprises.
In an exclusive interview, Jen shares the coolest thing she discovered about life in the middle of nowhere.
“I don’t love creepy crawlies.
I’m not very comfortable in that,” she said.
“The small space for sure,” she said.
“And also just no wifi.
No real connection to the outside world.
That was a challenge.”
Indeed, Jen discovered that trying to imagine wilderness living and its hardships was worse than actually experiencing it.
“I think anticipation of something that’s unknown is always the worst,” she said.
“That was hard for me, the idea of it.
I tend to be a thinker, so I was thinking of all the what-ifs.”
Luckily for her, most of those what-ifs never came to pass.
And by staying open to the wilderness experience, she found herself beginning to enjoy it.
“The first thing that comes to my mind is how quiet it is.
I mean, it is just like, there is no sounds other than nature,” she said.
“And just being able to experience nature on that level without other interruptions is pretty incredible.
“Love Off The Grid” is now streaming on Discovery+.
