Welcome to the Tobons Around the World Blog! Over the next twelve months we will be traveling around the world, visiting over 100 cities in over 30 countries and we wanted to give you all some insight as to why we are doing this. To be honest, this trip has been a pipe dream for both us and we thought that it would never materialize. Let’s face it, we aren’t trust fund babies and we aren’t getting any younger. However, our love for travel, our parents’ inspiration, and our desire for adventure has helped us overcome any obstacles.
We are super excited to embark on this adventure before life gets too serious with kids, a house, PTA meetings, minivans, dinner parties, or even more importantly deciding if we go with a beige or crème ottoman for the living room (this already happened!). We have been saving for this trip for four years. Some sacrifices have been made, such as Courtney going from buying Manolos to not buying Manolos anymore. In all seriousness we have had to make life adjustments, but they have all been worthwhile. From learning how to cook at home to wearing extra layers during the winter months, every penny, hotel point, airline mile has helped towards making our dream come true.
We want to thank our amazing friends and family who have supported us during the planning process of this trip and who have encouraged our every whim. We welcome you to follow us on our adventure and we look forward to hearing from you all or seeing you somewhere in the world!
Five days until our freedom date…….Woo Hoo!!!!
let's celebrate!!!
