Travelers I met along the way
I’m sure there were more over the 14 months, but these were the ones I had written down.
Victoria from Northern Ireland whom I traveled with almost a month in Mongolia. She’s just finishing her trip about now.
David, who I connected with online before meeting in Ulaan Bataar, Mongolia and then crashing at his apartment in Urumqi, China. He’s making his way home and has interesting posts on his time in Iran. I think he’s still in Turkey but heading into Europe soon.
Tom & Barbara, whom I met briefly in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Brooke & JR, fellow Chicagoans and yoga retreat drop outs who I watched the Super Bowl with in Trivandrum, India. I ran into them out of the blue last week in Chicago so I can confirm they made it home.
Grace, whom I traveled with in Uganda, D.R.C. and Uganda. She finished her trip around the same time as I did but decided to go back to Korea to earn some cash before coming back to the U.S. It’s possible she’ll continue to update. My mom loved reading Grace’s blog to figure out what I had been up to and just how dangerous The Congo really was.

Thanks for the shout-out Megan!!! We can’t wait to leave!!! 6 months and counting!
Hey! This is Malena of the candy themed round-the-world. I’m finally starting to get everything finalized, and should be leaving in mid-March for the trip. My webpage is all setup at http://www.malena-rtw.com (you may notice a few me-go.net influences…) but it’ll likely be pretty boring for the next few weeks.
Good luck, Malena. I hope you can find something resembling candy in each place you go. I think, outside of Europe, Japan, Korea and the Middle East would be the sweetest.
