One of the drawbacks for taking off for a year or more is leaving behind friends and family. Depending on the type of person you are, and how you grew up, this may or may not be distressing for oneself.
Fear not though my friends, for on any given travel path there lies a multitide of opportunities to meet unique and interesting people. I came across a travel blog of some English folks, Aaron & Georgie, who are currently in the middle of the SE Asia portion of their trip. I’m very jealous, because they recently visited Borobudur, the largest Hindu structure in the world. You can read more about their visit here.
Something else they do that I think is pretty kick ass is their video blogs. We plan to take a video camera and would love to be able to post to the extent that Aaron & Georgie seem to be able. I’ll most certainly be inquiring about their methods for keeping such a great video based log.
We hope to keep in touch with Aaron & Georgie, appealing to their benevolent nature, seeking advice and travel tips where appropriate.
Thanks a million for your kind words Manali and Terry, it will be great for us too because we head back to the UK in December to get things ready to get married in July so keeping up with where you are and what you're doing will get us through the English winter… Then you will be able to help us out with tips on traveling as a married couple!
Take care and thanks again!
Aaron
Mucho mucho love… Come join in
I'm weepy already but so enthralled by the prospect of watching you fulfill all our dreams – and who knows whose yacht will be docked next to yours Roberta
