It’s 2016, where to now?

So we have finally decided to take that plunge and go on an extended vacation. It was hard to tell our employers because we actually quite enjoy our jobs and love the people we work with, but it is now official – we want to leave in February 2016.

We have created this blog to keep everyone informed about of journey, and considering how much prep work will be required, we thought it best to already bore family and friends with blow-by-blow accounts of our preparations.

At a time when we should be finishing off our studies, it is far more interesting doing research on our trip. Yesterday, we came across this fab website (http://indie.bootsnall.com/) to start plotting your trip and checking out flight costs.

So here is the initial extensive route plan. This will definitely change as we go, especially if we run out of money, but here’s shooting for the stars:

Update 2022: See where we did go in the end up going in 2016 here: https://nowhere-in-particular.com/about/

We never made it to Chile and went to Peru instead due to Chile’s visa requirements and the difficulty of obtaining the visa while away from your home country. So Chile will be our first destination on our next long trip beginning in November 2022.
