around the world in 20 weeks
All About Us
This fall, Antha was in the Twin Cities working for the Obama campaign and Sam stayed in New York, when he wasn't visiting Minnesota and getting put to work.
Now we're taking a good chunk of time off (5 months, or 20 weeks, or 138 days) to travel around the world.
We made the decisions about where to go in the same way we decide most things--took some guesses and pulled the trigger when the deadline (in this case the cutoff for ticket purchase) approached.
To contact us while we're traveling email us at anthaandsam@gmail.com
