The Route
In Their Words
Here's what Brianne Dawn Day Levine shared about their RTW journey:
What is your biggest fear about this trip?
Missing family, family getting ill, or having life changing things happening while away. Personal biggest fear: getting pregnant.
Are your family, friends, co-workers, etc., supportive of you? What is their opinion of your going around the world?
Yes and No. My siblings, friends, and others very supportive. In-laws are very supportive. Parents are very against it.
How do you think your round-the-world trip will change your life? How do you think it will affect and change you as a person?
I hope it makes the world more accessible for me, I hope I make memories that take me through the rest of my life, I hope I come to understand other people better and learn about other cultures, I hope to pick up on languages, I hope I learn to cook really well from other cultures.
