Our travel route is a little bit crazy, but I can attempt to explain the method behind the madness here. We tried our best to catch peak season, if not shoulder season for most spots and more importantly, avoid rainy season. Next, we stuck to warm climate destinations over fall, winter, and early spring since we didn’t have heavy winter layers nor did we want to travel with them. Next, we visited our fair share of “budget friendly” countries, however there were some MUST VISITS for this year of travel that were at the very top of our bucket lists (New Zealand, Norway, Faroe Islands), so we jetted off to those spots to catch their warm season. Finally, there were 2 weddings back in the states that we went back for as well as one project in the Caribbean that popped up last minute. And there you have it…
Below are our itineraries that pretty much has exactly where we went, what we did, where we stayed, for all 365 days. I linked notable hotels, excursions, group trips, and contact info for some of our favorite tour operators, all of which I’d highly recommend. Also, I filmed daily short vlogs to give you a visual of what we did each day, all in under 60 seconds each. Those are linked in the below itineraries as well.
We’re Claire and Peter. In 2022 we took a corporate gap year to see the world. Three years later…we’re still on the road.
