We knew that we wanted to see the world and if we didn't just go for it, then it would probably never happen. We sacrificed so much the first time we left Canada. We quit our jobs, sold our house, sold our car, stored our belongings, said good-bye to our families and flew off to see the world.
We spent 13 months travelling through South East Asia, India, and Sri ... full info
