What better way to get to know your future spouse than to travel around the world on a cheapy budget with expensive ideas.
About this blog
The first section of this adventure takes us on a fly-by-night trip of Japan, Egypt and Turkey. The main attractions here are ancient cultures and awesome foods!
We will 'settle' in Spain for a month to take a language course, then set off around Spain, and hit Portugal. (We decided to skip Morocco after all)
In June we head across the Atlantic to South America. After checking out the Brazilian beaches and jungle, we head to Bolivia, Peru and Equador for some serious sight seeing. Hopefully we can do some volunteering for a month in Ecuador in a school or farm too.
Our final destination is Chile, from where we will fly back to Oz...
We hope to keep you enthralled (or at least amused) with our misadventures over the coming yea
