Life begins at the end of your comfort zone
So our 3rd anniversary came and went. Whoop whoop! And as hard as it was for Paulina to come home from nightshifts and fall fast asleep without even spending a moment together, we were just as grateful to reflect on that we are happily together and our anniversary last year was …
What’s the plan? What’s the plan for? Man, landing back on native soil and digesting one year of imagineering we are coming to grips with the reality ring of our current situation. All these thoughts, ideas and experiences from the last year are now spilling …
We’re pretty adventurous eaters and over the past year we’ve tried everything from beef tongue hot pot in Japan and cow brain soup in Turkey to – yes, INSECTS in Thailand. And honestly we walked away from each of those three meals with a smile on …
Building a new family, going camping on weekends, flying across the country for weddings, and apprenticing for a new position as a guard – that’s what our dog’s been doing while we’ve been away. I don’t know if we were lacking love from each other, competing …
At our Workaway in Turkey we had made some amazing ties to the community. Will played soccer every Tuesday with a group of guys, we visited the neighbors for tea and watermelon even though none of us could understand each other, we met the mayor, had our …
Walking the streets of Cusco, Peru, about one hour away from our flight back to Toronto got Will thinking about if he’s ready to go home. Share if you know someone who is thinking about a gap year off and may want to talk to …
Well, Father Time waits for no one. As we glance at our rear view mirror, we have some treasures from Peru we have to share. We are very inspired to share tales of our adventurous experiences in these mystic lands. We can honestly say that when …
If you can get through a year of travelling together, you can probably get through anything. We’ve tested the waters with having no money, being tired, lost and hungry, being together too much, compromising, losing all sense of personal space or privacy, and so much …
We are starving for new experiences this far along the trip and lately have had a few cool experiences that aren’t really all that weird. We have three meetup events we went to recently and want to fill you in on them and give you …
So every second week we’re gonna do a video blog … a vlog! Hopefully it’ll be more than verbal diarrhea and obviously it will be a work-in-practice that’ll get better with time. But hopefully you’ll stick with us, give us your feedback (good and constructive), …
Getting lost is very much a frustration and a thrill for us as we explore new cities, towns and villages. Sometimes we’re physically lost and other times we’re emotionally or spiritually lost. Sometimes one person is super stressed out and wants answers and the other …
It’s very common for many people to go into something and not think of all the things that could go wrong. But that’s okay because if you had to know all the consequences then you may not ever do a majority of the things you …
We want to let you know that if you don’t have money coming in while you are traveling and you are running off savings, you will soon notice the pace of money disappearing. So let’s talk about it … disappearing money. The world is abundant, with …
We’ve become masters of unpacking and packing our lives as we’ve trekked around the world with only backpacks to call our own. It’s actually been pretty exhausting to be living out of a bag but we can’t complain given the opportunity to experience the world this …
Deciding what would be necessary to take on a one year backpacking trip around the world was a struggle for us. Every item needed to have more than one purpose. A dress needed to serve as a long shirt to cover the butt in conservative …
