In October, 2007, Marge and I quit our jobs and headed off to Asia where we began a twelve month around the world adventure, notable by the fact that all travel was overland - from the island of Bali up to Beijing, across Mongolia and Russia on the train, down through Eastern Europe to Rome, then back up to The Netherlands, finally returning to America a year later on the Polish freighter Isadora. Not sure how long we'd even last, this voyage exceeded our expectations, brought a new perspective to our lives, and primed us for further explorations around the world.
Our adventure took us to Indonesia (two months), Malaysia (one month), Southern Thailand (one month), Laos (one month), Northern Thailand (one month), Cambodia (two weeks), Vietnam (one month), China (three months), Mongolia/Russia (three weeks), Eastern Europe (three weeks), Western Europe (three weeks) and a Freighter across the Atlantic (three weeks) - a total of 372 days on the road.
What follows are a series of articles from our travels - something to remind us of our wonderful experiences years down the road, perhaps something to stimulate someone to do the same. It was absolutely the best thing we have ever done and brought such joy and satisfaction into our lives.
