We’ve been travelling since 2009.  In that time, we’ve visited 13 countries on 4 different continents (and counting).   In all of our adventures, one of our favorite parts is being able to share our adventures with others.  Since we can’t take everyone with us, we’re forced to share via stories and pictures.  But we’ve noticed two things lately when we delve into our story-telling:

1.)  A number of family and friends, although they put on a good show, have started to listen to our experiences out of obligation, rather than the former sense of interest.

2.)  For the friends and family that do want to hear, we either don’t have adequate time to share or don’t share the stories they want to hear.

I’ve actually talked about starting a blog for a while.  Our number of stories continues to grow, and I continually feel the need to record them and share our experiences with others.  But we would rather provide people the choice of whether or not read and follow us.

So here we are:  a blog to document the up’s and down’s of leaving our home turf to venture into other countries and cultures.  From here, we will share what it was actually like kissing the Blarney stone, platform-jumping in a Mexican cenote, bartering with Turkish merchants, cruising the Autobahn, and getting lost in the Louvre.  We’ll share tours and restaurants we most highly recommend, and treasures we stumbled upon by chance.

We will also share our experiences in transportation abroad, customs, luggage, and travel wear.  If there’s a mistake a traveler can make, we’ve probably made it.  So please feel free to learn from our mishaps, or just laugh at our expense.

Thanks for joining us!
