Summary

Issa & Nita Breibish’s Moto Journey: Getting From A to D As so often happens in life, we get caught up in what society expects us to do. Get a good education, get a good job, buy a house, have the right furniture, clothes, gadgets… and so on. We are expected to live our life in the “normal” way. In the western culture, if you don’t have the big house and fancy cars, and everything that goes along with it, including debt and stress, well… you just aren’t living. We think we need or want those things, that they will make us happy. But, as many studies have shown, life experience makes you happier than acquiring material things. Even those experiences which may be uncomfortable to us in the moment, make us feel more fulfilled. We may turn them in to funny stories or see them as a valuable learning experience. And stories, more than material things, are what connect us to other people. Because who doesn’t love a good story?Issa and Nita Breibish felt that something was missing in their life, and the more they thought about it the more they felt they needed to do something about it. They decided to sell everything and turn their material things in to experiences. After some planning, they left on a trip which would become an education in life for them. They haven’t rushed from place to place, they have taken the time to spend with the people and cultures they came across. Issa and Nita feel that time spent in one place has more value than tallying up the countries they have visited or how many miles they have travelled. And having had the time of their life, they are ready to hit the road again as soon as they can and to, as Nita says, not worry about getting from A to Z in an allotted time, but just meander from A to D.Highlights:- Trip preparation - gear or mind?- Material things = experience- Essential gear - how much is too much?- How to get more out of your tripTwitter: gomotogeoFacebook: www.facebook.com/welovemotogeo/Website: www.welovemotogeo.comYoutube Channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCqryVUBbfVJl3kbAIHW9PIQSFU study: Contrary to expectations, life experiences better use of money than material items.http://news.sfsu.edu/contrary-expectations-life-experiences-better-use-money-material-itemsBrought to You By:Max BMW MotorcyclesShop our Online Store featuring parts diagrams for every BMW model.

In 2014, San Francisco State University published a study about the perceived value between spending and happiness.

0:08.0

And what the study showed was that spending money on life experiences had a much higher long-term value than spending the same money on objects.

0:17.1

Oddly enough though, even though the participants understood and agreed that experiences

0:22.4

are better than objects as far as dollar value goes.

0:26.3

They grossly underestimated the value of an experience before doing it.

0:30.6

It's like the experience couldn't be quantified to a dollar figure.

0:34.0

The report suggests that objects being tangible things are easy to hold up and say

0:39.0

this cost me this much money, whereas memories are difficult to attach to an actual dollar value.

0:45.0

You wouldn't say, you know, look, I hiked to this falls and it cost me this much money.

0:49.2

But when all is said and done, the studies show that we will receive a higher value from life experiences than we will

0:55.0

from objects of equal dollar value.

0:57.7

So even those experiences that are uncomfortable in the moment, they provide a learning opportunity or at least an anecdotal story

that we can share with our friends and connect with people and that is

fulfillment. And I really didn't want to kill it, but I also really didn't want it on me.

So we had this like hour-long standoff with this Huntsman spider.
