An Engineer and a Math Teacher Quit Their Jobs to Travel, Knit, and Dance The World.
TLDR; The blog is a bit behind, but I will try to catch up! September was so dense with activity that it had to be made into 3 parts. This is part 3. The travel plan has changed dramatically. We stayed in Barcelona for just under 2 weeks. We visited Park Guell, La Sagrada Familia, [...]
TLDR; September was so dense with activity that it had to be made into 3 parts. This is part 2, Croatia. In Croatia, we explored Plitvice National Park, visited Nikola Tesla's birthplace, stayed in Zadar near the Sea Organ, visited Split and Dubrovnik (drove through Bosnia and Herzegovina), then visited Krka National Park (I liked [...]
TLDR: September had such density (in terms of cities) that it had to be split into 3 parts. This is part 1, Austria. Vienna is an ornate city, where many things are labeled “ wiener -------” (haha). We saw the clock museum, St. Stephen's cathedral, Schönbrunn Palace, Karlskirche, Hundertwasserhaus, the Palace of Justice, the State [...]
TLDR: After visiting some friends (all of you are amazing), we are traveling again! We flew business class to Frankfurt, Germany, stayed for a day, and then hopped on a train to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, for a two-week visit. It was primarily chilly and overcast with occasional rain. In Amsterdam, we biked through the city [...]
TLDR: We visited Arches National Park, Horseshoe Bend, Upper Antelope Canyon (incredibly lucky opportunity), found an alternative to "The Wave", probably almost got struck by lightning (we have proof!), crammed an impossible amount stuff into a moving van, drove to Denver, watched The Big Bang Theory, and continued to deal with the monumental stupidity of [...]
TLDR: We are back in Los Angeles, vaccinated with both shots (friggin finally), enjoying some familiar aspects of LA, organized/pared down storage, and began replanning the remainder of the RTW trip. Being vaccinated rocks. Bittersweet: Moved Out of the Bangkok Apartment After 1 year of living in the cozy Bangkok apartment, it was time to [...]
TLDR: Big news! We are returning to the states to get vaccinated soon! Then, we will resume travel shortly after. Thailand has been awesome, but due to the circumstances, we need to move on. Gotta Do What Ya Gotta Do The "acceptable" and most effective vaccines are being rolled out far too slowly/late here for [...]
TLDR: We went to the fancy cheese night, danced (one evening), Thailand is having a covid outbreak again so we are staying inside until it returns to "low levels" (many places are closed and travel is restricted), Chinda bought a sewing machine (and uses it regularly), I have been doodling on my iPad and working [...]
TLDR: We have been in Thailand over 1 year, I finished level 2 of reading and writing Thai (all of my visa related schooling is complete), Jyn is taking sewing classes, I learned that watermelons can be yellow, Bangkok is entering the hot season, I am a certified advanced freediver (but injured my ear this [...]
