The Neverending Story - One family's adventure around the world

http://www.soultravelers3.com/

Every once in a while, something will trigger my wanderlust.  A few years ago, I watched "Under the Tuscan Sun" with my girlfriends, and we decided we were going to move to Italy and live happily ever after.  (I'm in California, because life happened and two out of three of us got married.)  I travel to Germany and Austria often, to ski, and when I board the plane to leave, tears stream down my windburned cheeks.  (I usually declare I am going to brush up on my German and that I'll be back within the year, but it usually takes two.) I've been looking at jobs at the UN lately, and dreaming of getting a phone call asking when I'm available to come work in Geneva.  (I would say, "I'll take it!" no matter what the job was, and promptly faint.)  This last UN-inspired episode coincides with Christiane Amanpour's new show on CNN, and I dream of being her assistant and carrying her bags, like a journalist's caddy.

In the midst of this UN & Amanpour wanderlust attack, I found Soultravelers3 through links other travelers have posted on Twitter.  I wondered what it would take to finally make the leap into a lifestyle of travel.  I thought it was a quaint idea at first, but nothing that would compare to a Tuscan villa or Austrian chateau.  But the more I delve into their story, the more adamant I become about living a life like this.

My hat goes off to you, DaVinci, Jeanne D'Arc, and Mozart!  Keep us posted, you have more followers than you imagine.  You're an inspiration.

Best wishes on your journeys, Soultravelers3.
