In a few days, we are going to leave for the craziest project we have ever had: a one-year world tour.In recent years, we have already had the chance to travel a lot.Weekends here, vacations there, and each time the same observation: you always had to return too early.Eventually, an idea began to pop into our heads.What if we stopped thinking in terms of vacation weeks... and just went away for much longer?Little by little, what initially seemed like a slightly crazy idea became a real life project.A project to change pace, take a step back from work that was gradually losing its meaning and experience a different year to change perspective.For several months, we have been making preparations: resigning, finding a sublet, registering with the municipality, adjusting insurance, preparing vaccines, checking passports... and above all trying to think of everything that could become complicated once on the other side of the world.For the past few days, our apartment has looked more like a cardboard warehouse than a home.We also discovered that we had a lot more items than we thought... which is pretty useless information when you're about to leave with two backpacks.
And then there is this somewhat special phase.A bit like when you order something on the internet.At the beginning we compare, we think, then one day we place an order.And then comes the waiting.We know that this trip will last a year… but we also know that it will pass very quickly.For the moment, this wait is well fulfilled between sorting, boxes and organization.But it is also very exciting, because each day that passes brings us a little closer to the start.There are also the first goodbyes.Meals with friends, moments with family, and this phrase that we are starting to hear often:“See you again in a year.»The boxes are gradually closing, our backpacks are starting to fill up, and the project is becoming more and more real.In a very short time, a new page will start.A year of discoveries, meetings and adventure... that we can't wait to experience, and of course to share with you.
