vagabonding-n. a deliberate way of living that makes the freedom to travel possible.So you may be wondering just what it is we're doing...well so am I! Thats kind of the point, but I'll clue everyone in on the idea Todd and I have come up with and are now moving towards.
Last summer, I was in between courses out in Oregon when i came across a book called
Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long Term World Travel. Basically this book convinced me that I was ready to plan a big time extended travel. I called Todd who was in Vancouver still and gave him the run down and asked him if he was interested in the journey of a lifetime, he said yes. So we began contemplating where we should go and what we should do, we considered several areas of focus and determined that Southeast Asia had the best combination of culture and access and the cheapest flights! Next came trying to figure out what we wanted to do once we got there, after tossing around lots of different and exciting ideas, we decided that true vagabonding was what we were going for. Our plan now is to use Singapore as the jump off point and thats about all we have planned. We want to be able to take opportunities as they present themselves and not be limited to an itinerary or pre-booked flights, we have a few ideas to guide us if things get stagnant, but in general we hope to figure out where to go next by word of mouth or simply choosing a place with an interesting sounding name!
So we've got our plane tickets, heading out on August 4th, lots of planning under our belts, ready to get some!
Stay Tuned!
