As I have done for years, I continue to travel a lot for my work. My wife has her own career as a finance director for a property company and works long hours with some travelling as well. We both love our jobs, but with two young children life is quite hectic. It is all about planning and not so much about having fun.
In 2003 we go on a family trip to Malaysia. We have been here before, visiting friends, and it is a lovely place. Beautiful nature, beaches, warm and nice, lots of restaurants and very modern in many ways. We have a couple of weeks to relax and just enjoy spending time with our children.
On our last day, after having left the hotel, our taxi driver takes us to see some new developments in Kuala Lumpur, just for fun. Everything looks amazing.
When we are back in Sweden a new idea takes form. What if we would do something totally crazy like moving to Malaysia for two years. For me it would be perfect, being closer to our suppliers, working with quality and logistics. My wife could take a two year leave from her work and spend some time with our children. Quality time that we have been missing. Do we dare to do the jump?
