So glad you found us at Wandering With, A Practical Guide for World Travellers and Those Who Dream of Travelling. We are Debra, a retired music/band teacher and Tim, a retired mechanical engineer. Our journey together started in 1996 when we met and married in Minnesota. From our first trip to San Diego we realized we were good travel companions, and since then have travelled around the world as often as we could while working full time.
In 2018 we retired early, sold everything we owned, and packed what was left into three duffel bags. This started our journey of being full time worldwide nomads. We plan on wandering the world, visiting each country for a month to a few months. We’ll be in remote areas hiking, large cities checking out the culture and people, and everything in-between.
