Push-Pull: we have done this before, right......?

Yes, we have done this before. Three times actually, we have both quit our jobs and headed out on long trips. We met in New Zealand May 1993, Patrick cycling from Holland around the world. Rachel on her own in NZ and Australia. We met up again in South Africa in January 1994 and cycled from Capetown to Nairobi, then on to Western Europe back to Holland. We married in Missoula Montana July 8, 1995 and settled in Boise, Idaho. In 1999-2000, we cycled 9 months in South America.

Our last trip in 2006 and 2007 took us through Indonesia, Southeast Asia, Tibet and Nepal flying to Alaska and cycling back home to Boise Idaho.

The last seven years we spent working and remodeling our house. The house went from this:

Original house

to this:

Post-remodel house

And now we're leaving all this behind to go live in a tent and cheap guesthouses, and cook on a one burner cookstove. And of course ride our bikes and see the world!
