Off we go!

After many goodbyes, well wishes and parties, we are finally on our way around the world! All the stresses of packing up our lives (bills, cars, furniture, jobs etc) can now (almost!) be forgotten about and we can look forward to what lies ahead! Shout out to the parents for harbouring our worldly belongings until we return home! Saying goodbye to everyone makes you realise what you're leaving behind, but hopefully we will meet and make lots more friends along our way. Words of encouragement, advice and recommendations have made the decision to quit life as we knew it much easier, in an attempt to postpone the need to make adult decisions and to avoid the all too familiar 'I wish I had done it' ! An upside of being 25 is that we still qualify for youth prices in lots of places - hooray! Other personal advantages of getting on the road include less washing up, fewer decisions about what to wear, and no student loan repayments! In the interest of unbiased reporting, we will document and share the pitfalls of life out of a suitcase to compliment all the highlights (an Abbott family tradition!). So if you care to follow our global escapades then stay tuned... first stop, Iceland! Our prickly pal will also be making cameo appearances!Baca selengkapnya
