We (Anna and Ali) have decided to leave the comfortable couch called Canada and embark on a crazy, wild homelessness for the next 6 months. We leave... on January 1st, 2013 with a one way ticket to Melbourne, Australia. Whoowee. . .

We will be watching the sunrise and sunset of Ayers Rock in Australia, Dancing with the Māori's in New Zealand, Volunteering in rural Thailand, Spiritual exploration in Malaysia, Shopping in Singapore, Driving mopeds while hanging out with monkeys in Bali, Walking the Great Wall of China, and hopefully stopping to eat in Ukraine.

I have to admit, it was Anna's idea to make such a grand adventure out of it. I was frankly stuck in my comfortable little box not wanting to come out. Something Anna has helped me do more than once since we've met. This is big. Being away from your normal life and daily routine for a week or two is one thing. For many, a month is a lot, and it is. But to take 6 months off is something different entirely.

Anna and I are restless spirits. We crave adventure. Living in Calgary is very comfortable and rewarding, but it only allows us to see the rest of the world from a safe distance, through books and news reports.

We say screw safe distance, let's get dirty!

A lot of people have asked me why we're taking this trip. We have a multitude of good reasons. The biggest one is .... because we can and should.

I have realised that life is very short. Many people have told me, and even I used to think, that you have time later. You work now and save up so that you travel when you're older. But...time is never right and the opportunity has to be created.

Yea, Seriously.. We are leaving in 51 days. We have created a skeleton map of where we would like to go. It is located under "Travel Map". Located below the skeleton map is our "Actual" map, to what we have booked and where we have actually been.

Also if you need some of contact info, and how to get a hold of us while we are "trekking" see our About Page.

So Join Us! On our adventure of our lifetime. We will be updating this regularly with photos and stories of our travels and experiences.
