A newlywed couple and the ultimate test: Our journey around Europe and Asia, and a temporary settling in Australia.
About this blog
We've escaped the rat race! Well, at least for a couple of years. Our wedding on April 21, 2007 marks the beginning of our new life together, and what better way to kick it off then quitting our jobs and leaving it all! The trip will include camper-vanning around Europe, a trip to Russia to hop the Trans-Siberian/Mongolian trains to China, backpacking around SE Asia, and working and playing in the land down under. Make sure to check back often...enjoy!
