our year of travel

In 2023 Tony and I left the paths we were on to travel. We had a loose idea of starting in New Zealand and gradually making our way back to the US. The rest came together on the road. We backpacked for 13 months around the world.

Since returning, I’ve aspired to write about these experiences free form rather than a things to do itinerary. Think of it as a public journal that includes notes to myself or those we encountered along the way. If it inspires anything of your own, promise to send me a note would love to hear ALL about it.
