It can be a rare experience to have the opportunity to chase your ancestors and family history in the town in which your family came from. I had this once in a lifeime chance in the summer of 2017 when I travelled to Pomarico, Italy to meet my long lost famiglia and bridge the gap between our long lost family.
Tom and I stood facing one another, hand in hand, enjoying the buzz of the moment.

We had cared for one another over the previous year, enduring horrendous smells and conditions no one wishes to witness in their spouse. We’d been held up at gunpoint in Peru, endured eight visits and one root canal from a foreign dentist, vomited from moving buses, and worked demanding jobs on four different continents just to keep traveling, but the rush from the good times was enough. Traveling was enough. Having one another was enough.

We’ve had weeks full of excitement and some days riddled with difficulty. We’ve done our best to make it look easy, a seamless journey cross-continental, but the truth is that it’s hard work to travel. We’ve been sick, we’ve been broke, we’ve been covered in bug bites, robbed and thrown from a bus over the course of a year, but we’ve also uncovered a life time of beauty just by taking a chance.
Travel can be hard work, but it’s a life we’re truly grateful to live. We had an incredible year full of travel and now half way across the globe we’re promptly at the start of 2017— still on the road.
