It's my career
No
Not really "around the world"...but Toronto to Vancouver to
Singapore...then Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam...then the
South Pacific, back home.
We simply love to travel!
No real worries...we can't wait to get going. "The trail is the thing!"
Our friends and family think it is hugely exciting.
Just Enough
Oh, we'll pack light...we are "old" and are not willing to carry much.
Indispensable? Only required documentation.
Likely just want us to travel more!
Awesome!
To explore and to learn...to be real travellers instead of only tourists.
That it is one big "vacation" . Vacations are for tourists... travelling
is a way to appreciate all another culture has to offer!
Same as above. We are very curious and love to learn.
Have a blast! And remember that if you travel too quickly, you miss all
it is that you are travelling for. "The trail is the thing."
