About this blog

Hello family, friends and random web freaks!

This is the story of our journey around Asia. We're starting off in India, and planning to travel through Nepal, Thailand, Loas, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand Samoa and finally LA.

We're hoping for lots of highs, and not too many stomach cramping lows. Hope you enjoy sharing our adventure.
