After Kim and her husband, Brian, decide to quit their jobs to travel around the world, they're given a yellow envelope containing a check and instructions to give the money away. There are only three rules for the envelope: Don't overthink it, share your experiences, and don't feel pressured to give it all away. Through Ecuador, Peru, Nepal, and beyond, Kim and Brian face obstacles, including major challenges to their relationship. As they distribute the money to people they encounter along the way, they learn that money does not have anything to do with the capacity to give but that it is the giving of ourselves that is transformational.

Unfortunately I found the narrator rather annoying. Not so much that I stopped listening to the story, but I did find myself cringing often – – especially when she was 'playing the role' of Brian or Michelle.

When Kim and her husband Brian decide to sell their house and all their worldly possessions, quit their jobs and embark on a trip all over the world, they are presented with a yellow envelope from friends containing money. The task is to give the money away, to whomever and whenever they feel called to do so. Initially, I found it interesting that Kim struggles with who, how and when to do that. Some of her concerns were not wanting to insult someone, with cultural differences and language barriers possibly preventing Kim from understanding the needs of the people she meets. Ultimately, like Kim, I realized that it isn’t meant to be a planned exercise but more a spontaneous gift given from the heart.
I enjoyed tagging along with Kim and Brian on their adventures and experiencing the beauty and excitement vicariously through them. I also admired the courage they had to take this on and the hardships traveling in countries where you don’t speak the language can bring.
My Final Verdict: The concept of paying it forward is not a new one, but I enjoyed this story that highlights one couple’s journey of discovery of the world, of each other and of themselves. The joy that can be found in small ways by connecting with others is immeasurable. I recommend this story to readers who enjoy stories about travel, sacrifice, hardship and humanity.

I did not enjoy the performance: the way she spoke with any character other than the author , using stereo typical accents, was just awful. Her husband, Indian accents, etc were hack.
