This is an exciting time for us here at Zen Travellers as we are now 7 months and half way in to our trip around the world! When we first left home it was definitely exciting, but also a little bit nerve wracking. Given that we were leaving our jobs and selling most of our belongings, that’s probably understandable. Well, this big trip is still as exciting as it was at the beginning but the nerves have faded as we’ve settled nicely into a life on the road. The pages of our passports are a little more cluttered and looking at the map, we’ve certainly covered a lot of ground and seen a hell of a lot, including: amazing mountainous landscapes, deserts, forests, lakes, rivers, oceans, and more.
In addition to being mesmerized by incredible landscapes, we’ve been lucky to see a variety of rare and unique wildlife, and Thea’s lifelist of birds has exploded. We’ve had some humbling experiences, scary situations, learned about different cultures, and met a tonne of amazing people along the way. Most recently, we capped off the half way point with a 10 day cruise to Antarctica. This was truly an incredible experience to see a one of a kind place most don’t even dare to dream of visiting, and one that we’ll not soon forget.
