The Meeting:
In the oldest bar in San Diego, we locked eyes as I was squeezing past Randy’s seat. It was instantaneous.
The Second Date:
I announced to Randy that I was going around the world and that I had decided he was coming with me. Although I had been thinking of doing this for the past 5 or so years, this was a new idea to Randy and against his better judgement he said he yes. It would take at least a year and half for him to warm up and embrace the idea. But once he got on board he quickly became excited and couldn’t wait to get on the road, then he got a 2nd job to pay off debt and save money.
2 1/2 Years Later:
Beth: 32 Randy: 30 We live by the beach in San Diego with our little dog Chachy. We work as much as possible and are very good at keeping our room in complete chaos. Since Randy is a journalist and I am a photographer we’re hoping we may actually be able to pull this whole idea off and possibly make a little money during the journey, at least we hope to. While our primary goals are enjoying time on the road, meeting new people, seeing new lands and experiencing new cultures, we’re also looking to create opportunities on the road that could spark a change for the rest of our lives. We will do anything and go anywhere and if anyone reading this needs an article, a photo, or both of some far flung land or a commonly frequented location please contact and tempt us with your amazing idea. You can have fun watching us get extremely excited about working for free or more hopefully - almost free!
