We’re a married couple from Toronto, Canada, who quit their jobs to embark on a round-the-world trip of a lifetime in November 2011.

Susana was born in Taiwan and lived in Guatemala as a child before landing in Canada. A sufferer of itchy feet syndrome, she’s always wanted to travel the world and is thrilled to finally be living the dream. Last known as a communications professional before embarking on our grand adventure, she’s polishing up on her photography skills and working on finding that next goal in life. |

Where Have We Been
We get asked this question a lot. Here’s a list of countries that we have visited and written about since we left Toronto.
Indonesia
There's more to Indonesia than just Bali beaches. Visit ancient temples and fascinating but overflowing cities in the most populous Muslim country on earth.
Thailand
Home to countless Wats, beautiful islands and glorious sunsets. Thailand is no longer a hidden gem but it's still a gem all the same.
Laos
Easily the most beautiful and equally overlooked country in South East Asia, Laos is not to be missed if only for pretty little Luang Prabang alone.
Vietnam
Busy, polluted and full of life, Vietnam is a thriving country and home to the world famous Ha Long Bay islands.
Cambodia
World famous Angkor Temples make Cambodia a must visit destination. And thanks to recent efforts, a much safer place to see.
Singapore
An oasis in the middle of South East Asia and home to some incredible shopping. A bit pricey but worth a short visit.
Italy
Incredible food, fantastic gelato and some of the best art in the world. How can you not visit Italy?
England
If you are looking for history and good beers, then there is no substitute for a visit to England. Tour the tower of London and see the crown jewels. Or just relax in the pub.
Malawi
Malawi is a small but beautiful country which is over 20% covered by Lake Malawi. Hike up to Livingstonia or just swim in the lake. Either way, it's a wonderful place to visit.
Botswana
Want to see elephants in their natural environment and up close? Get yourself to Botswana and take a trip down the Okavango Delta. You won't regret it.
Colombia
Colombia has come a long way to improve its image and now ranks as one of the best destination in South America.
Peru
Home of the world famous Machu Picchu and mysterious Nazca lines. By far the most popular country to visit in South America for the adventure seeker.
Best Of
Here is a list of our best experiences or most worthwhile posts. If you want to skip right to meat, this is it.
