Welcome to fellow travelers! Our story started like many others, two corporate burnouts with a curiosity for the path less traveled. We decided to take the leap, quit our jobs, pack our bags, and embark on the adventure of a lifetime.

For better or worse, we started off as Type A planners, budgeters, and relatively novice "adventure travelers," so we got to work. We started to plan our bucket list adventures and had a hard time finding complete, up-to-date guides.

So, we rolled up our sleeves and put in countless hours of research: learned how to maximize credit card points, scoured the depths of reddit-verse, translated hundreds of foreign sites, and meticulously planned our grand adventure, one spreadsheet at a time.

As we've traveled, we've picked up tips, tricks, and some hard-learned lessons and decided to share our findings. We hope to offer you a little reassurance—or perhaps a bit of inspiration—to embark on your next adventure!
