10 Most Memorable Travel Moments from 2 Years of Living on the Road

Yes, it’s right! We have been living on the road, traveling, vagabonding, living the nomadic life, for 2 years now! We set sail on April the 15th, 2009. We ditched our apartment and careers for our journey around the world. Are we crazy? Maybe. But the past 2 years have been the happiest period in our life! We have been chased by angry flocks of seagulls in France, joined a Ramadan bazaar in Turkey, campervanned the length of gorgeous New Zealand, fell on donkey poop in Santorini, watched the Geminids meteor shower in Fiji, got swept to sea in Honduras, and just 3 days ago, I swung 250 feet like Tarzan above a cloud forest canopy in Costa Rica! So, on this 2nd anniversary, we would love to share 10 photos representing 10 of the most memorable traveling moments we’ve had (so far)!
