If I could immediately check off one thing from my neverending bucket list, it would be learning to blow glass in Murano, Italy.
I think all of our lists should be neverending. It’s great that you follow other peoples’ bucket lists to always get new ideas! I could probably really add 30 more items to this list myself!

Sunrise at Easter Island. Everyone should have it on their list. Incredible.
Agreed! It’s definitely on our list. Our list is really bigger than 30. 😉

Wow, the courage you both have is so inspiring! Like you G, I keep running into subliminal messages telling me to travel, and I wish so badly that I could do it full time–maybe I’ll take a year off to travel too. Happy Holidays to you both and enjoy the adventures, and excitement in your travels!
We met another young couple on their 6-month trip last year, and they said if you have that thought in your head, you’re just going to HAVE to get out there and do it. We listened. 🙂 Happy Holidays Noemi and thanks for trippin’ by!

This trip is very courageous, you are offering lots of inspiration for many people. It would be nice to read a post about travel personalities- as such a great undertaking can not be done just with anyone… How would you describe your travel personalities?
oOOoooo.. great idea! I just might take that and run with it. Lol. You’re right, you can’t just travel with anybody. Gerard and I are very similar in the way we travel, we like the same things for the most part. I think we’re a good balance but I should probably leave the juicy details for a post you just helped inspire! =) Stay tuned and thanks for trippin’ by!

I can’t make 30 trips before 30 but I will surely try! You guys are awesome!
No need for 30 trips. Just start with your first one. The rest will be sure to come. 🙂

Great site guys! Check out zozi.com for travel promotions to help you out. I can see a reality show in the making for the both of you. Stay Trippin’
Thanks Aaron. Too bad I can’t stand being in front of the camera. haha.. We’ll keep this in mind whenever we travel domestically.

Seeing the aurora borealis in Alaska was one of the higlights of my life. It put other things in perspective.
We can’t wait to see it ourselves! It was probably surreal I imagine.

Just finished with our cross country road trip across US last summer/fall =)
First actual adventure trip of my/wife’s life and loved it. Fascinating thing was we pulled it off in our 2 week vacation(damn work).
After that and reading your blog(I always thought RTW was for singles), RTW didnt seem like it was out of reach =)
You did it in two weeks? That gives us hope since we’re now back on the corporate ladder with them 2-weeks holiday too. LOL! RTW is totally for everyone! Are you considering? It was a great experience and one we definitely don’t regret. 🙂
