We’re going global.

Rather than making concrete plans now, we will be planning just a little bit ahead as we go. There’s a Maps & Itinerary button on the left of this screen, in which you’ll be able to see our desired itinerary, planned route and actual route. It’s a big jump for us not to plan things; it’s a big change from how our society mostly operates. It’s a pretty scary place, not knowing what’s going to happen next and yet it’s quite calming at the same time.

“If you don’t have a plan, you can’t fail it.”

Apologies to those of you who want to see the final route laid-out here and now; we just don’t know ourselves yet!

I know that many of you who know me well will find it a little difficult to comprehend that I haven’t fully planned our entire route down to the last chocolate stop, but honestly, we really don’t have any planned destinations. We are not buying a round-the-world ticket because we want to take everything as it comes to make the most of spontaneous opportunities. What I can tell you though is that we are starting our travels by touring the UK, heading south from London first. And my most desired destinations to visit at some point along the way are: Namibia to drive across the sand dunes, Italy, the Galapagos Islands to see the marine iguanas, New Zealand, the trans-Siberian railway and UAE. I also want to partake in lots of sailing, surfing, white water rafting and English teaching in the appropriate locations. :o) Please feel free to recommend places we really should see!
