A couple years and 1,043,067 credit card points saved later, and we’re officially off!

We’ve been talking about traveling for a long time so it’s surreal to finally be on our way. The past few months have been filled with lots of preparation, an annoying amount of craigslist postings to sell our stuff, and lots of time with the people we love and will miss while we’re gone.

Right now, we’re in a lounge in JFK waiting to board the 2nd flight of our journey (a 14 hour one!) and will eventually end up in Ko Lanta, Thailand. We’re planning to spend about 3 weeks exploring Thailand (and getting some much needed sunshine) and will generally be exploring South East Asia for the next 4 months.

We’re hoping to share the highlights of our travels but also the financial side of things and how we’ve saved and credit card hacked to be able to take this trip, so stay tuned for all things travel to come!
