Posted by Tim on Sep 7, 2010 We've written before about the virtues we see in traveling light. Well, lately we've been taking that to an extreme.

Posted by Jessica on Mar 16, 2010 If you adhere to no other tip on this page, adhere to this one. Keep an open mind. Be open to not knowing every place you want to go and the day you want to get there. Be open to not going to every place you think you will go. Be open to not planning every country, every city, every village, every stop before your trip.
