As the title of our latest escapade states, we've taken it upon ourselves to sully that good (ha) reputation Australia has just a little bit with every country we visit. Whether it's queue jumping with the best of them in Russia, shaking umbrellas at old women on metros, wandering the deserted alleys of Moscow at three in the morning, breaking the furniture of our hosts before they've even offered a first meal, swearing in bus stations at fat beggar children (who certainly didn't need extra money for ice cream!) or threatening fellow travellers on account of snoring, we're both more than willing to do our part to accomplish this goal.

As for the explanation of our name, contrary to what we're sure some of you are thinking, we are not in fact whores, or not in the traditional sense anyway. We are, however, whores to our baggage - which is very unfortunate as rather than having our baggage pay us, we have to pay for our baggage. Or we would, if we weren't so skilled (experienced) in the art of baggage smuggling. In an endeavour to correct our un-backpacker ways (backpackers actually laugh at us when we arrive at a new Hostel) our goal is to leave a bag of excess luggage behind in every country we visit so perhaps, by the end of our trip, we'll be able to manage getting to even one destination without the use of a taxi or the kindly assistance of baggage victims.
