Day 1 Tuesday 28/11/2023 – Brisbane, Australia to Tokyo, Japan

Said goodbye to our families at the departure gate to fly from Brisbane airport to Narita, Tokyo after resigning from our professional jobs to travel around the world.

Quote from Vagabonding by Ralph Pots book:

“For some reason, we see long-term travel to faraway lands as a recurring dream or an exotic temptation, but not something that applies to the here and now. Instead – out of our insane duty to fear, fashion, and monthly payments on things we don’t really need – we quarantine our travels to short, frenzied bursts. In this way, as we throw our wealth at an abstract notion called lifestyle, travel becomes just another accessory – a smooth-edged, encapsulated experience that we purchase the same way we buy clothing and furniture.”
