Coming Home: One Year Later
I didn’t know how I would feel about coming home. I didn’t know how it would feel to be home for one week, or one month, or five months, or half a year, or even a year. It’s now been a year since we returned to Canada. I thought that I would be more nostalgic [...]

Now that we’ve returned home and have settled back into our routine lives again we find it funny how our travel stories keep coming up. Invariably one of us will look at the other and say ‘Remember That Time…’ I thought it would make a good series; a way to tell these small stories that [...]

1. December 2010
We’re packing up again this week. It won’t take long – we’ve been living in a furnished apartment since we got back so we only have a few boxes of personal belongings to box up. We’re not moving far either. Just a few short blocks…into another furnished apartment. We’ve been without a home of our [...]

18. November 2010
We entered India one year ago today. It is a place that I had been looking forward to seeing for many, many years. I was nervous and apprehensive but, more-so, I was excited.

30. June 2010
I had always said that, although a year seemed like a long time to be away, a year would pass anyway whether we did it or not. Now people see me and exclaim how quickly it seems to have gone by. Quickly indeed. We’ve been back home for more than a month now and we [...]

Travellers. Giant-Steppers. Serial Expats.
Hi! We're Gillian and Jason. In January 2013 we left our 'home and native land' for untold adventures in far away lands. Our plan is loose at best; our only goals are freedom and happiness. Follow along as we make, and tell, our stories.
