Hi Orangeshere,

Thanks for your response! We have actually developed quite a plan and documenting all in traders and blogs. So getting there with our milestones, thanks! I will also be posting a thread of posts on this topic, so stay tuned if interested! :)

I would be very interested to hear how is going with you two. Do you have a plan? How do you envisage your independent travel? Did you have any ideas for freelancing?

P.S. We found it very effective to set ourselves a target day to keep things moving.

Cheers,
Kristina

Yes we do! Actually we'll both be working FT jobs later this summer (we're recent college grads) and plan to do this for 2 -3 years to save of some money and build potential opportunities. Then we have a plan to teach/work with friends in education abroad in China/Japan/Korea to immerse ourselves long term in different countries and of course exercise of passions for teaching. We plan to use teaching has a resource for not only exploring other cultures, but bringing what we know from around the world to the students we meet.

And yes, we've definitely thought about freelancing, though since both of our background are in finance/accounting, I'd imagine we'd aim for private accounting/consulting type roles wherever we are, haha. We're both super enthusiastic about creative pursuits like animation, woodwork, and art, but I don't think we're quite at that level where we could make a living off it. But time will tell!

Good luck on your travels! :)

How nice to hear that!
I was considering teaching in SEA too!
We will see where this year will take me :)

I can't wait to set out, but all in it's good time..

Thanks, and I hope to chat with you very soon.
