We’ve done it! We cannot believe that this year has come and gone so quickly! We feel like we just blinked and before we knew it, it was over. We have loved every second of this trip. Looking back on it now, even the tougher times (of which there weren’t many) we now look back on nostalgically! Here are some statistics to give an overview of everything we have done:
We were away for 45 weeks. We visited 21 countries excluding South Africa. We took 14 flights, 118 long-distance busses/shuttles, 20 boats/ferries and we used 16 different metro systems.
Our top foods that we tried in no particular order were:
- Chupe in Chile
- Steak in Argentina
- Satays in Malaysia
- Pad Thai and Green Curry in Thailand
- Rice Pancakes in Vietnam
- Dim Sum in Hong Kong
Our top five countries we visited in no particular order were:
- Guatemala
- Ecuador
- Chile
- Argentina
- Vietnam
So now that it’s over and we are completely broke, would we do it again? YES! This has been the most amazing experience! No price can be put on the things we have seen, the people we have met and the way our marriage has grown over these amazing 10.5 months.
We are now starting the next chapter in our lives. I start my new job on 4 January 2016 and Chris starts his dream job a week later. We are also moving to Cape Town which is an awesome new adventure. We cannot wait to catch up with our friends and family and to see our little cat Akira.
We hope you have enjoyed reading our travel stories and that the information we have tried to give has been helpful. If you are thinking about doing something similar, DO IT!
Here we go,
Chris and Ro
