We are Kathyrn and Roland
We decided to travel around the world starting in May 2009; you’ll find our story on this weblog!
We have already travelled quite a bit together, in Canada and in France, and we always got along fine…
At some point we decided to go a bit further, and got married last year… And we still get along fine!
So, it appeared to us that we’d never be readier than now to travel a whole year together, around the world ;-)
