Jessica, left, and Matt aboard their boat. A young couple decided to quit the rat race and gave up their jobs to sail around the world - despite never having set foot on a sailing boat before. Matt and Jessica Johnson, both 32, decided to give up their American Dream and purchased a boat in 2008. After practising for three years, the due were finally ready to set sail and drift into the sunset. Matt quit his job as a sales manager at a car dealership and Jessica left her insurance firm career and the pair set sail, leaving everything they knew behind. Wanting more company, they decided to adopt a cat in 2012 and Georgie the cat has been with them ever since - including 13 different countries. [Photo/IC]
