Wanderlings

wanderlingslogo2

We are becoming Wanderlings. With so much world to see, with so much to experience, to taste, to feel, we both felt our time is now. In the last year we realized life is more than just working to afford a house that is too large, a house that a hurricane can wipe away in a weekend. It's more than just getting by, just to get by. So here we are, walking away from the job and the mortgage, and packing up for a life of adventure. We will be sharing our journey here, a journal of all we see and do, the sands of Morocco, the beaches of Thailand, the isles of the Mediterranean, the endless trekking, and all the life in between. We hope you'll follow along! -Susan & Rusty
