Dinner from our Airbnb in Queenstown

It’s been a very busy, fast paced week with lots of driving, site seeing, tours, and checking in and out of hostels. Joe, of first visitor, just flew out today after joining us for the past 5 days as we cruised around the Central North Island area. It was an awesome time had by all and we’ll get into of all the exciting details, with pictures, soon!

Aside from being constantly on the go, internet here in NZ is still years behind the US and Europe. WiFi is extremely unreliable and typically slow once you are able to connect – and this is only if you get internet through the WiFi hotspot which comes and goes without warning. This is a new-to-me problem. Also, our Project Fi sim cards are only connecting at the same data speeds our Nokia’s and Moto RAZRs did back in highschool, well over 10 years ago… In other words, it’s been difficult to get anything done that requires a decent connection to the world wide web.

 

Bear with us, we sincerely do want to post more, and more frequently!

Why you’re here and we’re there (the world)

February 16, 2017 by mjrunaway 3 Comments

You’re here because we love you and you love us. We miss you all but we left because we felt we needed to experience the world. This is the story of Malcolm and Jessica’s escape from America, work, and the rat race that Seattle was turning into. It’s a bittersweet journey leaving our growing families, irreplaceable friends, and jobs that allowed us to take this leap from the security of a ‘normal’ life to the uncertainty of a new life of travel. This is our dumping ground for all of our stories and pictures, thoughts and ideas – we want to share with you what we are experiencing as we work together to navigate this big wide world of ours! We are far from professional travelers as you will quickly find out but by the end of these next 10 months we should have something valuable to share with you all!

We hope you enjoy the pictures and stories from our adventures through new oceans and continents while dreaming under foreign skies and constellations. Enjoy!
