About Us

Matt and Katy Bowers

DSC02245
In September 2010, we got married (aka established) in Seattle, WA. Since then, we’ve bought 2 houses, Katy has held 3 jobs, and Matt has broken 5 bones.

In March 2015 we quit our jobs, rented out our house and went traveling full time. Our goal was to make it all the way around the world in one year. About 4 months into the trip, the plan changed. The world is too big to make it around in one year. So we slowed down in order to enjoy more things, and made the decision to skip Asia- for now. We finished up our trip in July 2016 and went home to Seattle, making our adventure 17 months long.

This blog is our way of documenting, and commenting on, this adventure we took around the world.
