About Us!
Navigating Uncharted Life
Hi,
We are a couple of twenty-somethings who have decided to step away from the routine of 9 to 5 life and venture out to new horizons. Follow our blog as we hop and jaunt from place to place with only life as a destination.
Who are we:
Alyson: “Have you ever seen a tiger pacing a cage? That’s how I would describe Alyson after we’ve stayed in one spot for too long. She’s an old hand at jaunting around; having spent her life hopping from Japan to Argentina, USA, BVI, New Zealand, the Philippines, China, Guam, etc.. Call it an adventurer’s spirit or just wanderlust, but the nomad life is in her blood.
You’ll never meet a girl more talented or capable. She’s a marketing guru and a phenomenal graphic designer. Not to mention brilliant with people, tri-lingual, cooks delicious scrabbled eggs and killer margaritas. As a matter of fact, this entire blog is possible only because of her incredible web design skills. That being said, I don’t think she would last a day without me around.”–John
John: “Still water runs deep…or so he’ll let us believe! Underneath his quiet demeanor and southern charm lies an old school adventure’s spirit. Organized and meticulous in his daily routine yet spontaneous and passionate when it comes to living life to the fullest.
On his first flight ever he flew out to Japan and ended up spending several life changing weeks. Now, having gotten the Philippines and Trinidad under his belt, he is eager to add a few more notches. It seems the travel bug is contagious and he’s sure gotten it bad!
Extremely gifted when it comes to art he is currently sharpening up his guitar and music skills as well. Though mostly those thoughtful silences are just well disguised blank stares…”–Aly

Hi,
I was just writing to ask whether you would be interested in a link exchange? It would be mutually beneficial to both our blogs as the backlinks would increase our search engine rankings.
Let me know if you are interested.
Regards,
Amar

Yay! Travelers in my ‘hood!! Love, love the site. Definitely bookmarked! I’m still hoping to get down to Colombia, although for now I’m so settled into my little life here. Can’t wait for you to guys to hit Costa Rica — I’ve been wanting to travel around a little bit more, so it’ll be neat to see where you guys go. Have fun!!

I’ve been checking in with you guys, but this is the first time I’ve looked at your about page! Funny, huh? I guess the updates on Facebook have worked their magic. I think it’s really sweet that you wrote each other’s bios. Keep on with the keeping on!

Hey you guys! When you get your new site up, I’d love to do a link exchange with you. I’ve already added your link to mine. Cheers!

I just added you to my blogroll
I’m so painfully jealous of your new site design although I loved the current one as well.

Hi Alyson & John,
My name is Leigh McAdam, traveler, researcher and writer for http://www.hikebiketravel.com. I started off about 6 months ago with the idea of writing and selling downloadable guides and itineraries but figured free was actually the way to go so changed my focus and you can download the guides for nothing except an email address. (You can download a free guide or I will attach one if you send me your email address.) They will continue to be added at a rate of ~1/month which gives me the excuse to travel regularly. I also blog and am fine tuning the website – though that’s taking a tad longer than I had hoped for. There will continue to be upgrades and changes over the next few months.
Hope you might consider a link to me and I will add you momentarily. I recently started following you on twitter and would certainly appreciate if you would do the same @hikebiketravel.
Not only do I look forward to hearing from you I just want to say that I am impressed with how your new site is going to look. Can you actually provide a quote to me on a new header for my website – it was a quick solution for when I got going last year but it’s not what I want.
Thanks.
Leigh

Great work here. And how wonderfully you describe each other! Hope to see you when you guys are in India. Welcome to my country. Best

It’s a grey day here in Taipei, the kind of day that makes you feel like it’s always been this grey, and always will be. Have stumbled upon your blog and am suitably en-brightened. Is that even a word? I don’t care. I’m going to use it. Anyway, consider yourselves linked. Can I come and live with you now?
