Itchy Feet & Bucket Lists

"I've pulled the Bucket List back out. Amongst what's left are the Trans-Siberian Express, the Terracotta Army, the Swiss Alps and the Panama Canal."

Easy words spoken over an avocado on toast breakfast - catalyst for a global adventure. A 24 country, 57,000-kilometre unforgettable journey across the steppes of Mongolia, the wilderness of Siberia, Putin's Russia. Through strike torn France, Europe during winter and over the lonely Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Commencing in October 2019 and undertaken by author Emma and injured husband Darryl, the trip will cement their belief that travel is the epitome of learning and the antidote for depression. And while providing an education on the incredible places visited, there will also be lessons on staying one step ahead of a developing pandemic, Google translate, food poisoning and train accidents. Throw in some weighty goals like having a rum in Barbados, a coffee in Guatemala and guacamole in Mexico; it might even be the cure for their itchy feet.
