These are my friends, Sally and Richard.
They are indeed gods of travel.
They've found in the world of traveling what amounts to the Holy Grail, the El Dorado, a state of Nirvana...
They are perpetual travelers.
We first met in the Dahab Hostel (that name keeps popping up) in Cairo back in the day. My first impression was that these folks really had it together. They were really serious travelers who were curious, engaging, adventurous, and knew how to chillax.
Anyway, I hung out with them in Cairo and then eventually bumped into them again out in the real Dahab.
We had long nightly discussions about the dream of perpetual travel.
Sally and Richard had a plan.
They went home to Australia after Egypt and sold all of their worldly possessions and hit the road, forever.
For the past couple of years they've traveled India. Now they're touring SE Asia ever so slowly.

I worship them and their lifestyle.
I'm not worthy...
They're keeping a brilliant blog, Slow Train Coming. Check it out.

Must be that the rental on their house funds their lifestyle?
Could be Mr. Spanky... U should do the same, if u wanna...
Sounds like a good plan. G and I have thought of something similar but likely we'd start much later. If the house is paid for, why not!
BTW, we've bought our tix for cycling the Danube this spring...
Nice work. I came across your blog while “blog surfing” using the Next Blog button on the blue Nav Bar located at the top of my blogger.com site. I frequently just travel around looking for other blogs which exist on the Internet, and the various, creative ways in which people express themselves. Thanks for sharing.
