Just a couple of newlyweds seeking international adventures.
For now, we’re kick-starting our careers and squirreling away funds for future travels, and looking back on the amazing experiences we’ve had in Europe and Canada (our homeland).
We love slow but adventurous travel that grants us heaps of experience and a knowledge of local life. Food – at home and abroad – is a big part of our lives and a big part of our motivation for travelling. People truly are what they eat, and a plate of pasta can tell you as much about a people as a towering cathedral.
We’re poor and young, so budget travel is our expertise. So far, Europe is our most well-explored domaine, so if you have any questions about affordable European travel, we’d be happy to answer them!

WANDERBOY
Wanderboy (WB) is a physics-teacher-in-training who loves to cook (and eat!) and play video games. He does a lot of the planning, mapping and budgeting for his and WG’s travels. He loves meat.
Likes: a pint after a long day, sushi, outer space, relaxation, comfy pants, science, cute animals, learning, sci fi, caffeine, Neil deGrasse Tyson, noodles

WANDERPHANT & WANDERMONKEY
Christoph the Earless Elephant and Leonard the Monkey are arguably the most well-travelled stuffed animals on the planet. They join WG and WB on many of their travels, and like trying new things and meeting new people, elephants, and monkeys.
Christoph likes peanuts, strawberries and being friendly. He dislikes when people are mean.
Leonard likes being boisterous, bananas, and posing for photos. He dislikes when people are sad and tries to make them happy.

You two are possibly the cutest EVER. :)

LOL, I hate butterflies too! I cringe when I see women with butterflies adoring their rooms, wardrobe and office space… I do like real butterflies in the wild. No, laundry sucks, here is a funny post about How to Do Laundry Like An Italian, let me know if it strikes a chord with you. http://blog.tianakai.com/2012/11/how-to-do-laundry-like-an-italian/ :)
Ugh I can’t stand butterflies! I don’t mind decor or clothing butterflies but real ones are horrible.
Your laundry post made me laugh – totally the same in the UK!
