Fellow Tranquilo Honeymooners

I just discovered a like-minded pair of wanderlustin’ lovebirds, whose round-the-world honeymoon makes for some happy clicking. “We’re basically a fairly normal pre-kids couple on the adventure of our lives,” write Susan and Grace. We can relate.
We can also relate to their travel philosophy: “We’re more interested in finding out what life is like in a given place than we are in seeing all the tourist spots. That said, we don’t ‘go native’ when we arrive somewhere. We do some research before we reach each destination on what to see and do, but we also make things up as we go.”
There’s a lot to like on 13 Months, including hundreds of gorgeous photographs (actually, they took 18,021 photos); I haven’t had time to fully browse all the galleries, but I particularly love this shot of a Maasai woman and her baby. I also dig their random page.

My first quote about Travelers and their Travels. (forgive my poor translation).
“Anyway, those who lived these extraordinary episodes tend to keep silent; maybe because they don’t know how to tell, or maybe because they think that to tell about them would be misrepresenting. Or maybe because, when you live an adventure, it seems to you exceptional, but then, once you’re back home and get ready to tell, you don’t find the words : all the things which seemed to you who-knows-what disappeared, they flew away, or they don’t seem as extraordinary as all that. And little by little,
nothing comes to mind, maybe, after all, nothing really happened, and you don’t know what to say.”

Thanks so much for linking to our site: thirteenmonths. We’re honored. And we really like your site a lot. Since we’re home now, we’ll have to follow you and enjoy some more honeymoon vicariously! Stay safe and happy travels! –Grace & Susan

According to every defintion you are lucky. I am really enjoying your visits. I have seen your friends’ visits too as you mentioned. Please include Tnazania -Sarengeti-killimanjaro too in your visits around the world and without Africa how it can be around the world. If you have climbed Resh Peak thats more than 16 thousand feeet high in Pakistan what is impossible for you.
