We hope to use this site to keep everyone updated on our travels throughout the world over the next 9ish (12ish?) months. We've been planning and packing like wild and are very excited (and overwhelmed) to hit the road!
Did we get ahead of ourselves? A little more background... Shannon and I are jumping into what we have been calling Bonus Year (or "Operation Bonus"). We chose Bonus Year because we don't really like the idea that we're taking a "year off." Instead we're taking a "bonus year" to travel and really explore the world and see what it has in-store for us next. We want to learn, contribute, and connect while we're abroad, not just be unemployed slackers. At the same time, we're both going to enjoy a bit of a break from the speed and intensity of the 9-5 life.
One of my favorite planning and dreaming trips was to Metsker Maps in downtown Seattle.
I enjoyed the cashier's reaction when we bought a map of Patagonia, a Vienna guidebook, and a Canadian Rockies road Atlas. Yes, we're up to no good.
Stay tuned as we kick things into gear!
Good luck and safe travels!
