We finally decided to sell all of our belongings and just travel the world.  We have been living out of two suitcases since early 2021 and the longer we travel the more places we find out about that we want to visit. We have taken long trips before, and previously spent a year living in Cambodia. We knew that we wanted to do something different on this trip, so we started a YouTube channel and blog to share our adventures with the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1101\" src=\"https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9931-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9931-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9931-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9931-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9931-45x60.jpg 45w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9931.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1099\" src=\"https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_7924-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_7924-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_7924-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_7924-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_7924-45x60.jpg 45w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_7924.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1098\" src=\"https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2957-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2957-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2957-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2957-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2957-45x60.jpg 45w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2957.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buymeacoffee.com\/overhillfaraway\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"224\" src=\"http:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bmc-full-logo-no-background-1024x224.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1109\" style=\"width:255px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bmc-full-logo-no-background-1024x224.png 1024w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bmc-full-logo-no-background-300x66.png 300w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bmc-full-logo-no-background-768x168.png 768w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bmc-full-logo-no-background-1536x336.png 1536w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bmc-full-logo-no-background-2048x449.png 2048w, https:\/\/farawaynowtravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bmc-full-logo-no-background-274x60.png 274w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\">Help Support Our Travels at Buy Me a Coffee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>How many countries have you visited?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">So far we have traveled to 26 countries together.

With that said, both Mexico &amp; Vietnam really stand out for us as one of the main reasons we travel is for the food and we just love Mexican &amp; Vietnamese food.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What are your future plans?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">For now we just want to keep traveling as long as we are still enjoying it. We started our current trip in February of 2021 and our bucket list of places to visit just keeps growing. In the near future we are planning extended trips to both Mexico &amp; Vietnam. We also have plans to visit some new countries in Europe.
