I looked at all the options and agonized over every detail....I spent months figuring out every step of the trip...and then BAM out of nowhere came an even more exciting opportunity and I completely bailed on my plans in a matter of moments...I am right now thinking about (but not planning) my next trip...I hope I've learned my lesson to not overplan so much!

We will be in Ecuador for a while, since Aracely is from there. You have lots of time to plan and save! Keep us updated. I am very curious to know if it will work out for us too!

We are leaving in a year on ours, and we start in Ecuador. We are also "planning" a spontaneous trip with only a launching point and a list of places we'd like to go. Since you are leaving first, it will be cool to see how it works out for you. Good luck on your trip! We are leaving in a year on ours, and we start in Ecuador.

Thanks for taking a look at our site. For all others, Brendan helped us out tremendously at REI in Marlton, New Jersey. He was our personal guide for about two hours as we tried on backpacks and reviewed our list of items needed. I will definitely check out the site in more detail. In the short time I just spent visiting the site, its seems he is an excellent writer. If you are working tomorrow morning we will see you at the REI Member Garage Sale. Hey Brendan!

I am excited to follow your blog from the beginning of your adventure. I am currently in the 'save money' phase of my RTW travel plans. One day I too will complete a long pre-trip check-list and say adieu to the sleep, work, eat -repeat routine...and I can't wait. Until then, I will live vicariously through your blog.Safe Travels!Drew Asheville, NC. Hello -

It's Brendan from REI. Almost time to depart. I've been wanting to check out your website but my computer crashed. Got a new one so here I am. Don't know if you remember, but I mentioned a fellow who is out there right now. Yo! It’s Brendan from REI. Almost time to depart. I’ve been wanting to check out your website but my computer crashed.
