<\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nMany people asked when I was pregnant if we would continue to travel or continue to blog after the birth. To which we always answered “TBD,” that was a problem for future us, after all. We have always shied away from making any long-term plans, sharing a mutual fear of commitment to anything except each other. Even our blog name hints at how averse we are to long-term planning, “Till the Money Runs Out” the amount of time we thought we’d travel when we first left the U.S. on a one-way plane ticket back at the beginning of 2011. All along our travels, any far-flung future plans were talked about in a hazy way, musing about what life would be like when we someday “grew up.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/noscript><\/figure><\/li> <\/noscript><\/figure><\/li> <\/noscript><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAs in, “when we grow up I want us to always have a bowl of shelled nuts and a nut cracker on our coffee table” or “when we grow up we are going to have a vegetable garden that we muck around in every day,” blithely said while hardly able to imagine what a life would be like with a living room or coffee table that is permanently ours. Originally we planned on “growing up” when we ran out of money, ended our trip and went “home.” After starting our own business we planned on that happening after we got married, after which we pushed the task of becoming grown-ups off to when we started a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here we are, six months in. Did we grow up? Are we going to continue to travel? Blog? The future seems to have arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nI can safely say that yes, we will still continue to travel and it looks as though I will continue to write but both will be different than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our lives used to follow a pretty familiar pattern no matter where in the world we found ourselves. We’d wake up, have coffee and do a little work on our computers, go for a walk with more coffee and then I’d run\/walk\/motorbike\/drive to a yoga class while Tom continued to work and afterwards we’d eat a late breakfast\/early lunch, you know what, we’ll just call this brunch. We would work together some more and then go explore a temple, beach, museum, take a cooking class or just go on a long meandering walk in whatever part of the world we found ourselves in. We’d hash out project ideas and have company meetings as we went. We love running our own company together, so even days spent eating cold leftovers and feverishly banging away at our computers could be considered spent in hedonistic pursuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
