Back After A Brief Delay

Recently, Sara and I have been busy with work and haven’t had any time to tend to our travel blog. That is about to change, however, because we have also been busy planning our next epic journey and plan to share all of the details.

We have always loved to travel, but something happened to us on our Egypt trip. We came to the conclusion that travel is really something that is more important to us than we had realized. Some people want to have a nice house, or a nice car, or an “I’m more significant than you are” job. For a while, those things seemed consequential as well, but not any longer. Travel is the goal. Sara can list her entire ‘Bucket List’ in three words: See the world.

This year has been quite hectic for us. Our business really picked up and we have had a few short trips, which we will try to write a bit about in the near future. But we had no time for the blog. We did have time to plan an adventure, though, and it is a good one. We brainstormed to try to come up with something that was even better than the Egypt trip. We talked about Australia, South America, even Antarctica, but ruled them all out for one reason or another. Finally, Sara came up with one that was epic, but doable: the Trans-Siberian Railway, with several stops along the way including camping in Mongolia.

We will be taking a 36-day trip, starting in Shanghai, China, working our way up to Beijing, across Mongolia, Siberia and Russia to Moscow and then St. Petersburg. We will be bringing another couple along with us and hope to have just as many adventures both on and off the train as we did in Egypt.

Please join us in the coming months while we provide planning tips, gear reviews, frugality techniques and, of course, stories from the road.
