    About this ebook

    Allison Vesterfelt and her friend were just a few weeks into a 50-state road trip when their car broke down in Wyoming. Unsure of what to do, the two girls found themselves stranded in a small town and dependent on the help of strangers.

    Through the questions and uncertainty, they contemplated what it means to live life without regret and when it’s worth it to live with less baggage.

    Read this small section of their road trip story, or find the whole story in Packing Light: Thoughts on Living Life with Less Baggage.
