We are Ingrid and Barrie, we think that life is too short to just work from 20 to 65 so decided to take a sabbatical and go travelling.
In 2018 we made many changes to our personal lives, including getting married in August and then embarked on a 3 month travels (long Honeymoon) around South America.
We picked South America as neither of us have ever been there before so it would all be new to both of us.
We are not young back packers, currently mid 50s, thus planned to travel at a leisurely pace taking time to see new sights, exploring new places and having new experiences. Our budget allows us a few luxuries along the way, and comfortable accommodation but we also are not old enough to blow all our money just yet as hopefully we will need some for the future. We hope that this will be the first of many new adventures for us a married couple.
Food is an important issue to us as Ingrid is a non meat eater. We will be looking for vegetarian restaurants along the way and great new ideas for cooking.
We will try to record the good and bad parts of the trip on our blog to share with family, friends and other travellers.
