Diaries of a Vagabond Couple
From the "Our Story" section of this blog, DIARIES OF A VAGABOND COUPLE:
" life is when we are in our dreams awake" - Henry David Thoreau
It all started 2 years ago, shortly after we got engaged.
We were backpacking in Scandinavia and came across a book by a Japanese free-spirit who traveled across the world. We dreamed of taking a year off doing the same, only I already had a dream job in an "elite" corporate career program that allowed us to live around the globe. It was the business class of travel, see the world in style & comfort. We were already "globetrotting"; it would be silly to give this up.
Or would it?
Like every backpacker-at-heart, we knew seeing the world this way just wasn't the same. We wanted to vagabond corners of the earth because for us, "roughing it" is not just a lifestyle; it is an attitude to life. It is about being young, being free, embracing uncertainty and more importantly - letting go.
Life is a series of lessons in letting go. Letting go of things that you cannot take to the grave in pursuit of things that are truly important - like dreams. So we confronted our first fear - letting go of our jobs and a financially secured future - and bought one-way tickets to Mexico where our dream journey begins as we slowly backpack our way home to Hong Kong.
This is a blog of our adventures. A journal of memories to remind us of what really are important. A reminder that we only live once and we wanted to make it count. "
The reviewer cannot describe this extraordinary blog better than what is eloquently written above in the blogger's own hand. This is a bilingual blog by a HK couple. The husband writes his entries mostly in North-American English and the wife writes in her native Chinese. This blog, DIARIES OF A VAGABOND COUPLE, is beautifully written in both languages; in some passages, it reads like poetry.
This blog inspires and uplifts your spirit. If you like adventure, traveling, good writing, jaw-dropping photography or just want to know what it's like to travel across the globe with someone you're madly in love with, do not miss DIARIES OF A VAGABOND COUPLE.
