TRAVELING OVERLAND

We’re free to spend all our time together. We’re free to travel the world.

Where did this idea even come from?

Ever wonder… What if we went on an adventure and didn’t come home? What if we just kept exploring, and left all our responsibilities behind…. What would that feel like?

WHAT LIT THE FIRE?

We planned (for about a year) a big 10 day trip to Canada. It’s what we talked about and dreamed about for so long. The trip was better than we ever imagined! It wasn’t even Canada… It was being outdoors, disconnected, with each other for 10 days straight with out any calls from work or ANYONE. We were together. Just us. On the road. No worries.

There was only 1 problem…. Coming home. NO ONE wanted that feeling and experience to end.

That trip changed us. It lit a fire inside and we couldn’t wait to plan and do it again.

Then the question came….Scott asked “What if we quit our jobs and traveled the Pan American Highway?” I couldn’t believe it… “Quit our jobs?, yeah right! You’re crazy…there’s just no way.” However, after a week I couldn’t shake the thought. “Could we?” “Gosh… what would that be like…?” The next week I told Scott “Lets do it!” and the planning began.

WHERE TO BEGIN?

How to plan a trip through 18 countries?

How much does it even cost??

Is it safe with a family?

I searched the web for everyone who had done it or were doing it and created a spreadsheet of every cost I saw or thought we would have to pay. I then eventually added in excursion prices that gave me a high and low total of what it would cost for us to live for 2 years. We had a goal. A savings goal. We’re guessing it will take about 40k to make it happen.
