Born to travel
Sharon and Scott
Scott and I have always been travellers at heart. We first met on the beach in Spain in 1995 and had what we thought was "just a holiday romance". We met again briefly a year later in Salzburg, Austria and then a few years later in Hawaii. At the time, I was working in Japan, and Scott was back in California after his two years in Barcelona, Spain.
Together, we have left it all behind to backpack around the world, not once, not twice, but three times. Travel really is addictive! Each time, we'd quit our jobs, put our meager belongings into storage or sell what was too big to store, leave our old clapped out cars with relatives, and turn in notice on our apartment. Easy! On the second trip we got married in Bali.
Then we had a baby. Determined not to stop traveling, we went on a three-week adventure to Indonesia when Kyla was just ten months old. I carried a backpack on my back, and my baby on my front. We spent most of our time on dive boats, which worked really well given that she couldn't yet move very fast.
Then came pregnancy number two, and an all-inclusive trip to Mexico. Not really our style but, hey, we were playing it safe because of my little bun (or actually big bun by that time). Since Jakey came along two years ago, we have only managed a long weekend up the coast to Monterey and a weekend in Las Vegas. So, it's time to spread our wings again. We are currently on an open ended trip since August 30, 2016. We plan to spend our time in South Africa and SE Asia mainly. Watch this space to follow our travels...
