The thought of having to settle for the typical American “work-a-day” world gave Dana Newman the heebie-jeebies. Her cure: packed belongings and a one-way ticket to the Czech Republic (her ancestral homeland). Her adventure: finding living quarters, employment and exploring the world around her. It appears Dana has gotten what she asked for… So far…
Kristin Spencer and her husband are on a mission, one dictated by a ‘higher power’. Wherever they go – so go the ‘sprouts’ (aka their 2 young children). In fact, they are missionaries who’s serves having them traveling the world and it’s a family endeavor. Enjoy the entries of their adventures and the tips on how to make to make it all work.
A 19 year old London black cab, 3 friends, the British Red Cross and the Guinness Book of World Records -what do they all have in common? Normally nothing. But, in this instance – everything. Three friends decided to drive a London black cab from – you guessed it, London to Sydney, Australia – raising money for the British Red Cross and breaking the Guinness Word Record for the longest taxi ride. They broke the record and haven’t even reached Sydney yet.
Life was nice and easy in the US for Rachael and Josh. Then, Josh’s employers gave him the opportunity to work abroad – in Dakar, Senegal to be exact. Rachael being a freelance writer/photographer made the decision to move that much easier. So, they packed up their belongings, including two dogs and headed off to Africa, where they will reside for the next couple of years.

I happened upon your blog through a travel blog site. Just wanted to
comment on a few things.
1) You’ve got guts, girl! To just drop everything and leave to an
unknown country not having any real set plans. I did something similar,
but within the U.S., not to a totally different country!!
2) It’s nice to read about an experience(travel blog) in which the
writer is a normal person who is scared to death upon arrival(ie running
out the back door of the restaurant in Prague). I read so many travel
blogs in which the writer/traveller is so confident and travel savvy
that it’s hard for me to relate to their experiences. I totally relate
to your anxiety reading your Prague posts. Although, I’ve now travelled
to over 20 countries myself and it does get easier over time, I still
get nervous and anxious when trying to speak a different language,
learning new customs and trying not to offend the locals.
