On February 6th 2023, we left on our adventure to travel the world. Who knew that putting on an out of office with no return date would be this satisfying!
It has always been a dream of ours to take time off from our careers and have a long sabbatical. Through this blog we hope to inspire you to explore the world with us and show you some of our bucket list items! We are committed to share with you the whole process of how we prepare for our trips, our highlights and also, honest reviews about our experiences.
Both of us have been asked many times what the itinerary is. Since we're creating our itinerary on the go and will be sharing our summaries and top tips per country, we thought it would be fun to share our route with you (somewhat) real time.
We use Google Maps (with its feature "My Maps") to map out our route and everywhere you see the 'plane' icon, is where we have already booked our flights to. The blue location icons indicate where we would like to go but are still subject to change as we're looking for good flight tickets during the dates we want to travel. Emphasis on good tickets and not cheap because there are a couple of factors that weigh into our decision except for cost.
Google Flights has been the most helpful tool to see which days of the month have flights going to our next destination at a reasonable rate. Often the cheapest rates are the most basic package which only includes carry-on or has a low weight limit on the cabin baggage. Typically, these flights also have (long) layovers. As we've packed our bags for a long trip where we will be exploring in different climates, we are checking in luggage with a weight of almost 23kg each.
We are so stoked to share our tips with you, keep watching this space to find out more! Give us a shout if you've been to any of the destinations we're going to and share us your recommendations.
