Dear family and friends around the world,
About 4 weeks ago our adventure finally drew to a close. We are back in the frosty north, sitting at home, on a cold, wintery Saturday morning. The adventure seems like both just yesterday, and a lifetime ago at the same time.
We just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for your support, encouragement, friendship, opening up your homes and hearts to us over our long journey.
In the weeks to come, we plan to update all our blogs, start writing and documenting our trip, and write a book for ourselves - to always remind us of this epic moment in our lives.
We cherish all the moments we had with all those we met on the road, and are thankful to all of you who continuously sent us messages and well wishes from home throughout our trip - every single one made us smile.
Our journey is not over, it is simply in the next phase. Our backpacks are not retired - just recharging.
Not all who wander are lost - and we cant wait to start wandering again.
At the very beginning of this journey we chose the name "Aspiring Vagabonds" knowing that we will always be chasing this dream, forever aspiring - always a journey, never a destination. We hope that in some small way, we inspired you to chase the same.
Our sincerest thanks.
Lots of love,
The Vagabonds
