Since the very first time we met in person in Australia we have been scratching our travel itch!

 

We visited 14 countries in 2019, spent 2020 touring Canada and went on to start traveling full time in early 2021.

 

Our adventures began with a 6 month stay in Mexico, before spending 5 months in Georgia (the country), 3 months in Turkey and 3 months in England. Eastern Europe and Egypt followed, before we began working our way over to Japan and Thailand in Asia! We have since visited no less than 12 countries in Asia in 2023!
