It’s a good book 🙂 Organizing your thoughts seems to get harder everyday since we’re all becoming multi-multi-taskers. Seeing things on paper makes any plan seem less daunting I think.

One thing that helped Kathryn and I visualize our trip was to buya big map from Rand McNally, pin it up on the wall, and start jabbing map pins into everyhwere we wanted to see!

Hi Saben. Traveling the world is a big endeavor and undertaking. It’s easy to get overwhelmed without putting a plan into place. Even a rough sketch can really take a big mental load off. Plus the plan doesn’t leave once you’re gone it can help you navigate around all of the unforeseen things that invariably happen.

I think planning our trip was the only thing that kept us sane. Its a lot of work and things never, ever, go as planned. But having a baseline and letting everything else fall in where ever it does gives you the freedom with a little control over the chaos.

Hi Monito, I’m glad you found me as well!

I just read an article by http://jetsetcitizen.com about ‘and’ people (which I am one myself). It’s hard to decide because we want to do it all 🙂 There are so many places to choose from…

I’d say start with a continent or part of the world. Let me know how it goes and what you decide on 🙂

p.s. no worries about typos!
