"You'll regret the things you didn't do far more than the things you did."

Hello all!!  Welcome! We are new to this so bare with us a little while until we get the hang of it!

Welp, in less than one week we set off on an adventure of a lifetime. We are feeling all sorts of emotions, as you can imagine, but are mostly feeling incredibly lucky to have this opportunity. This is really a dream come true for us!  For those of you who want to keep up with our journey over the next 6 months, check back often as we are going to try our best to post updates at least once a week.

For now, this is a brief synopsis of where we are heading.  We will post a more detailed itinerary soon.

• Fiji
• Austraila
• New Zealand
• Thailand
• Cambodia
• Vietnam
• India
• South Afrrica
• Turkey
• Greece
• Italy

We then plan on spending about 10-12 weeks traipsing around the rest of Europe!  Stay tuned for updates and let us know what questions you have for us that we can answer.  We can't wait to share our journey with all of you!


Love,
Wes & Christine
