Planning a year’s worth of travel can be a huge task depending on the type of traveler that you are. Some people may just go with the flow and figure it out along the way and others will try to cram as much as possible into a tight schedule. We fall somewhere in the middle of those two methods. The difficulties pop up when you take into account visa limits, rainy vs. dry seasons, and specific things we want to do in certain places. In this post we explain how we planned a year of travel and all the things we thought about in order to make the rough outline that we have. Make sure to read some of our tips for planning travel at the end!

If you read our Why We’re Traveling for a Year post we shared why we want to travel for such a long time and some background on how this decision came to be. In this post we go through why we quit our 9-5 jobs to travel for a year and dive a little more into why we think now is the time to do this.

In July 2019 we leave for our yearlong trip around the world! We think it’s important to give a little backstory as to why we have made this choice because it is certainly not the norm. So in this post we want to explain why we’re traveling for a year and what led us here.
