Let The Adventure Begin!

Welcome to our adventure!  We are two sojourners ready to live out a dream to see the beauty, history, culture and taste of Europe.  With only our loaded backpacks and a travel guide we will trek through Greece, Italy, Switzerland, France and Spain over the course of 5 weeks.  We've spent hours talking and planning for the adventure of a lifetime. 

Just yesterday we strapped on our packs and chacos and hiked Alpharetta's Greenway to get used to the weight and get a feel for what we'll experience everyday.  As you can imagine that was amusing! We spent the first 15 minutes or so adjusting straps and discussing whose pack was heavier.  Leanne's was by far!  She packed a more realistic load.  :)  The rest of our hike was some usual, fun banter mixed with questions about what each of us would pack.  The answer was almost always "it depends on if I have any room left."  This should be interesting!  :)

We would love for you to join us as we tell our stories of travel on a tight budget!  Our trip begins on June 7th and ends on July 12th.  We would also love your prayers for safety and for God to use this trip to teach us!  In the meantime, we welcome any ideas for "must see" sights, hostels/hotels/rentals, and other travel tips for the countries we are going to.

Adios,
~Leanne & Karen~
