Dear Anthony

Dear Anthony, I’m currently sitting in the back of a bus next to a Buddhist monk somewhere in southern Laos. It feels like I’m a million miles away from home, in distance, surroundings and in comfort, but for some reason as I stare out the window at the bright full moon in the sky, I…

New Friends in New Places

Through my experiences after two months on the road,  I quickly learned the people you encounter in the locations you visit will leave a lasting impression just as much as the destination itself.  These new friends you meet can greatly enhance your time spent somewhere and will leave you with memories you won’t forget.  Experiencing…

Facing Hardship on the Road

Life on the road provides us with unrivaled adventures we can only experience by taking the leap to start our journey.  But what will we miss from our familiar lives? Upon departing for a trip into the unknown we try to be conscious of the sacrifices we’ve made and the life moments back home that…

My Experience of 42 Days in Italia

Early on in the process of researching and prepping for traveling around the world long term, Nick and I decided that we would make a point to visit Italy first, and would plan to spend at least a month there.  Being that we are both Italian Americans who have never been to Italy, it only…

Rome is Burning

Rome wasn’t built in a day, but for us, it didn’t take much longer than a few days to start feeling like we were ready to move on.  While in Rome we walked a TON.  The temperatures were over 100F every day we were there, peaking at 105F (40-41C…still working on mastering these conversions).  We…

It’s Go Time

Somehow over a year has flown by since we made the decision to leave everything to travel.  Somehow we are 2 sleeps away from taking off to Rome, and beyond.  The realness of this has increased a notch with each passing day.  After saying goodbye to work 2 weeks ago, Nick and I tried to…

Down the Final Stretch

After over a year in the making, I gave my two weeks notice to my job today.   It felt like a load was taken off of my shoulders. This is a company that I used to work for during summers in between college and I have been involved with for almost a third of…

Full Speed Ahead

Today was my first day of work in Midtown Manhattan at my summer office job. Three days ago I was dancing until the sun came up at a music festival. One week ago I was at the tail end of a 900-mile drive from New York to Tennessee. Two weeks ago I was in the…

The Long Road to World Traveller

Would you believe that up until my 18th birthday, I had only been on a plane one time in my life?  That first time in the sky was when my parents brought my sister and I to Disney World in Orlando, Florida.  It was April of 1990 and I was three and a half years…

Why Travel is For Me

What would you do if you had all the time and money in the world? Would you buy a fancy car?  A mega mansion?  Expensive clothing and accessories? When I ask myself this question, I know my answer immediately.  I would get on a plane to somewhere I haven’t been and I would travel for…

The Plan…or Lack Thereof

So where are we going? In our past travels this was a simple, straightforward question with an equally simple, straightforward answer.  However, this journey will see us taking on a different approach, not only due to the length of time that we will be travelling, but also the way we want to travel.  When we…

The Trip of a Lifetime

“You are so lucky!”  “It’s going to be the trip of a lifetime.”  “I’m so jealous of you.”  “I wish I could do that.”   These are a few of the most common responses I get when telling someone our plans of leaving our jobs and everyday lives to travel the world.  What’s ironic is…

Bidding Farewell to a Dream to Set Sail on Another

I’m giving up a lot for this lifestyle, including what I thought was my dream job… Today I will resign from store manager at the largest on-mountain snowboard shop in the world, a position that has been so rewarding and has helped me build life long friendships through snowboarding.  Having your office at the base…

Traveling the World While Life Back at Home Goes On

One of the fears or concerns that I’ve dealt with since making the decision to travel the world is all of the “what if’s” pertaining to life back at home.  From the “what if one of my plethora of cousins is getting married?”  That would be something I would hate to miss.  To the more…

Support from Loved Ones, A Boost to any Traveler

I’m going to assume that not everyone who tells their family and friends they are quitting their jobs to travel the world at the age 30 is met with the same reaction as we were.  I imagine a lot of people would be criticized for reasons including throwing away a career, wasting a ton of…

The Day We Chose Freedom
