Gemma & Chris
Hello readers, we'll take this moment to introduce ourselves. We are Gemma, by day a fashion buyer and Chris a recruiter and live in London.
We've always loved the idea of packing up and flying off to explore the world but never quite found the right time or opportunity to do so. Luckily for Gemma the lovely ASOS were kind enough to give her an 8 month sabbatical to travel to all those places she's always wanted to see. Chris didn't take much convincing either, jumping at the chance to chuck in the daily commute, banish the suits to the back of the wardrobe and live out of a backpack for the second time.
The plan is 222 days, 12 countries taking us to the Far East & South East Asia, starting in Japan and finishing in the Philippines in May 2016.
So jobless, homeless and with our lives in our backpacks, we found ourselves sitting at Heathrow Airport on 16th September 2015 eagerly waiting to board the plane to our first stop Japan.....
