Welcome family, friends, friends of friends, and friends we have not yet met! Thanks for checking out our page, and if you feel so inclined, following our blog and living vicariously through us as we adventure the world! Yes, "adventure" can be a verb, and we will certainly show you how it's done.
Who we are: Brandt and Amanda. You can call us partners, lovers, best friends, a couple, or just two peas in a pod. We work as a construction project manager and a physician assistant, respectively. We read, run, cook, relax, spend time outdoors, travel, and try to get the most out of life every day. Basically, we are normal people, just like you!
What we're doing: Saying goodbye to our current jobs, comforts, and routines, and traveling around the whole wide world for the next 2 years!! We have a loose itinerary of the countries we would like to visit, but of course will be directed by the people we meet, the stories we hear, mother nature, political situations, love, and fate.
Why we're doing this: We want to speak foreign languages, experience other cultures first hand, find volunteer opportunities in medicine/education/construction, understand what the whole wide world is really like, and in the end, become better versions of ourselves (or maybe even new people). Don't forget surf, SCUBA, kite-board, hike, and play! We also want to educate and inspire others to experience the world first hand and travel around the world too!
When we're doing this: Hopefully leaving by Jan 2014!!
Through our previous experiences in traveling, we've found that planning really is a big part of the fun of it all so we will be making entries periodically and counting down in anticipation. Please, please, PLEASE feel free to make comments, suggestions, and share in your travel and planning experiences with us.
Also, we would love, love, LOVE for our friends and families to journey with us along the way. What far off land have you been dreaming about visiting? There is a good chance we might be in the neighborhood, so please take a look at our plan of action, and let us know where you might want to adventure together.
