After two years of Peace Corps China, it's finally time to hit the road and see more of the world. Lots more.

About this blog

Heather and I have finished up our Peace Corps service and are returning to the States -- the long way. We've seen a lot of China and Tibet, but it's time to see something new. We plan to meander west from Chengdu to places as diverse as Mongolia, Russia, India, Egypt and the Balkans on the way home.
