About this blog

Hello! Welcome to our adventure. Over the coming year we will be traveling around the world. We intend to travel by any venue possible and to experience as many wonderful sites and people as we can. A year is hardly enough time so it will be quick and we will most likely have to skip some things.

Maybe we will be able to meet up with some of you during the course of the trip. Keep in touch!
