in the beginning

"Vagabonding is about not merely reallotting a portion of your life for travel but rediscovering the entire concept of time." - Rolf Pots, Vagabonding

Warning: This is my first blog so I am not responsible for any misspelling, grammar, content, quirky sayings, or effects you may have from reading this. This is raw, unedited truth of our adventure.  You MAY experience a sudden urge to quit your job and travel the world.  

Now that you have been duly warned, please read on...

About a year ago Jon asked me what I thought about quitting our jobs and traveling for an extended period of time.  I immediately said great idea...when are we leaving.  He was thinking of making a transition though not really knowing if that meant moving somewhere or launching his video producing/editing career.  He threw out the travel idea to test the waters and little did he know I would jump on the band wagon and never look back.

This is the start of our journey and who knows where it will lead but it's all very exciting, stressful, fun, and crazy at the same time.

My goal for this blog is to chronicle our adventure as a memory sake but I also hope to inspire people to think about what's possible.  One thing that prevented me from traveling more was the idea that you need a lot of money to do so.  We are by no means experts in traveling but I have already gathered so much practical information that can be applied immediately just by talking to people who have done this before.  The blog will focus on our finances, general tips, and places we have visited.

This traveling thing seems like lots of work- or at least keeping up this site part- nice though. I was thinking of mai tais under the palm trees I guess. Thanks for the e-mail , Dad
