We left for our adventure on the 17th September 2016. Today, is the 17th March 2017. Officially, today we have been travelling for 6 months! Wow… what a long time. Today also marks 5 weeks until our flight home so we are definitely at the start of the end. I just thought I’d write a little here and be really honest about how we’re feeling 6 months in.

We still love travelling. There is no part of this trip that has taken away our love of seeing new places and having new adventures, but we’ve learnt we have a limit. Some trips require more than a 1 or 2 week holiday, but I don’t see us ever doing a trip that’s more than 2 months again. It has been amazing, but also very stressful, tiring and frustrating at times. We have already thought of other trips we’d love to make in the future, once funds allow, but none of them will ever been this long again and more than likely the destinations could be broken up into smaller chunks. Here’s some of the places we would like to go:

Vancover and British Columbia down through Washington State, Oregon and Californica. Road trip!!!

Mexico. I really want to show Simon the diving that Cozumel has to offer.

Peru and Macchu Picchu

The Galapagos

I am currently writing this blog with this view…

I mean nothing is wrong with where we are or what we’re doing. I think we’re just ready to come home. 6 months of counting the pennies, organising transport, booking accommodation, finding food, fighting of bug bites and all the rest has become tiring.

Saying that though, we are so very excited for the next few weeks as we have Loveday, Joe, Jamie and Leigh joining us for varying lengths of times. That whole time is going to be unbelievable and we are so looking forward to sharing some of our experiences with some of our best friends. I think them coming is the pick me up we both need right now.
