Annie and Jon left corporate America to do some world traveling. This blog chronicles their unconventional path and hopefully provides a little inspiration along the way.

cha...cha...cha...changes

First of all we wanted to say thank you to all the wonderful support we have received on the road. It is so nice to hear from friends and family on those cold and rainy nights in the camper van. The internet has been pretty challenging on our travels in New Zealand and we may not have responded to you but appreciate all your emails and comments. Please keep them coming. We are very fortunate to have wonderful friends and family like you.

I wanted to do a bit of a state of the union for the Unmapped Life. We have made some changes recently and I wanted to make everyone aware. For the super hardcore fans (all 3 of you know who you are), we have added a daily details page. We will try to update you on our adventures in a little more detail as to what we are up to on a more day to day basis. We will keep the main blog a more big picture with tips, observations, and videos. Annie is working pretty hard on this and it will allow us to remember what we have been up to as well. It can be a blur after a while. I have also split up the location and contact form. I try to update our location from time to time. So if you want to see where we are or would like to come visit, please check out this page. The contact is pretty much the same and you can send us a direct email via this page. 

Keep an eye out for a few things in the pipeline. I plan to update the photo section with some pics from New Zealand over the next few days and stay tuned for a New Zealand video that is in the pipeline.  

All for now but thanks again for all the support. We miss you guys!

(The title is a little inside joke to see if that special someone is paying attention.)

Appreciate the update and got the inside joke. Keep it coming because we got a few more interested parties. Your grandparents in Florida have a few people now looking at the sight.
Love

Hi you guys!

This is so much fun! I love your videos and your postings. No worries about speed bumps because you could be having them just sitting in our livingroom in SF but you're having them in a hippy van in New Zealand!! Just remeber to take a little personal time for yourselves. You're on a long journey. I love the saying, Good days give you happiness; bad days give you experience; both are essential in life and you guys are living it!
I can't wait to see the next video.
ox,

Hilary, thanks for the consistent comments. It always makes Annie and I happy to hear from you. You are still in the running for #1 fan.

We miss you too.

Annie, hard to say for July. Probably somewhere in Asia. Thailand perhaps. Glad we inspired you. Hope to be checking your travel blog someday.

Miss you.

Mary, got an email from the Carr's. It was really nice to hear from them. Thanks for passing the word.

Nanette, so good to hear from you. I hope all is well on your end. I miss the Grande family each day. We are wrapping up our time in New Zealand and off to Australia shortly. I am sad to leave but excited about the next adventure. I have a lot of footage from the trip, so I am hopeful the next video will be good.

Take care and thanks for the advice.
