Sad to be leaving Mexico, but excited to be entering our final country (on the world tour), we boarded our flight from Cabo San Lucas to San Francisco. Ready for all the sights, sounds and sea lions!
Ahhh Barbados. By this point you’re probably thinking, how the flip can you two afford to travel to Barbados? One of the most expensive caribbean islands (based on average daily travel price, per person, per day) well, I’m here to tell you the secret…btw it’s not hash!
It’s a wonderful time to be alive! 2020 not only brings us a New Year, but a new decade too! Which is oddly unsettling and pretty darn exciting too. Here’s where we travelled in 2019.
Left it to the last minute? Again? Ha, yeah I hear you. If the thought of going Christmas shopping has you feeling full of fear and dread – join the club. I loathe nothing more than aimlessly dawdling through malls, markets and marketed shop fronts looking for that ‘perfect’ gift. Check out my ethical guide to gift giving.
Deciding to travel for a year came with a range of budgeting concerns. How would we last a whole year? What type of sacrifices would we have to make in order to travel comfortably for twelve months? For us, the one thing we’d been looking forward to testing out was staying in one place. Thankfully we found a way to do that without costing us a cent in accommodation!
Arriving in Sicily felt like we had returned home, back to wishing everyone a bonna sera (only after two in the afternoon), ordering cappucino (only before eleven in the morning), taking pleasure in an afternoon nap and late dinners all whilst serving up a gleeful ciao to everyone we meet.
Holy moly, just like that we are four months into our round the world adventure. Read up on our updates on our budget, packing and places.
Ahhhh Procida, the small island (just four kilometers squared) off the coast of Naples. Mostly notable because: it’s not Capri, (that seemed to be where most other travellers were headed) which is why we were not, most travellers will head south west to continue their tour of the coast of Amalfi.
Our arrival into Milos was a lot like a first date. We were anxious from the travel, excited and expectant!
Before I head off to walk the European Peace Walk, I interviewed Dan to ask him a few questions about why and how the camino pull’s us in.
