Its always nice to hear other peoples experiences like this! What made u decide to do it? What made u decide to return to a "normal" lifestyle? Did u end up back in the same country or a different one? How long did u travel? Sorry bout all the questions but i love hearing the stories!

Renunciation just happened to be a byproduct of our move we never had it on our mind but in the process it surely gave a taste of the life we could have lived. After moving abroad for few years we are back to our home country. We have kids so it is neither in our mind nor have guts to do it.
In Hinduism a person is assigned duties according to their age and phase of life. It says there are four life stages: Brahmcharya(student), Grihasta(householder), Vanaprastha(retirement) and sannyasa(renunciation). So yeah I guess time has not come for us. But I am sure you will get the peace and true meaning of life.
That is very comforting to hear.. We have been learning more and more about buddhism as our spiritual journeys unfold. It is very interesting to hear u use these terms, i will have to look into them more.. thanks for all the knowledge and sharing ur experiences with me :)
