We decided to make our first trip together a big one! We both quit our jobs, loaded up our backpacks and left Canada behind with the intention to see and experience as much of Asia as possible. For approximately 8 months we will be trying knew things every day and constantly stepping outside of our "comfort zone".
After two months in Indonesia, 2 months in China, one month in Vietnam and the final three months going through Cambodia, northern Thailand and Laos we had to come home. The blog highlights our favourite moments and experiences.
