How it all started…

For years, we dreamed about taking extended time to travel the world. After endless discussions and changing our minds a thousand times about whether to take the leap, we are finally doing it! We wanted a way to document our grand adventure. So we decided to start a blog so that friends and family can follow along as well. We also have an Instagram (@the_plein_travelers). We are excited to share our travels with you!

Where are we headed?

The short answer is we don’t exactly know! We’ve spent countless hours over the last year researching different places in an attempt to come up with the perfect itinerary. But through that process we have decided that keeping our plans open and allowing for more flexibility is the best way to do a trip like this.

That being said, we do know we will be starting in Southern Africa and do have our first month though South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, and Victoria Falls fairly planned out. After that we have a long list of other places we want to visit on this trip, but nothing is set in stone and we’ll see where the wind takes us!
