Welcome! I’m Julia & he is Andrew. We’re a couple planning a grown-up gap year. We’ll use this blog to keep track and share the process to plan and begin this next chapter of our lives.

About her: Julia serves a vulnerable, urban community as a perinatal social worker. She is a poet and writer and enjoys the visual arts, something she hopes to spend time with during her gap year. In her free time, you’ll find her hunting bakeries and browsing bookstores. Julia is the writer behind this blog.

About him: Andrew worked for two decades as a network engineer and is undergoing an independent study in economics. He lives for spicy Asian cuisines and knows a thing or two about vintage video games. He might make guest appearances writing about his experience.

About them: Julia & Andrew met in 2014 and have travelled together often since then. They are at their best when they are exploring together.
