52 Countries in 52 Weeks

We set out in July for 1 year to travel the world. Our plan was simple; visit 52 countries in 52 weeks, staying one week in each country.

The driving force for me is "Why Not?".

I love adventure and I love to give something like this to my kids before they head off to their own lives. I have no reason to say no, and every reason to say yes. No Why Not?
​
We get a lot of questions about the schedule, what we packed, what we are doing, where we are staying and all kinds of other things. 

 

We have created a general plan that takes us around the world. We timed if for good weather in all regions and to minimize travel times. We'll do 16 weeks in Europe, then Africa, Middle East, Asia, Australia Pacific, South America.
 

We only lock things in about 4 weeks in advance, so we aim to be flexible.

WHAT WE PACKED

 We decided not to take any checked in bags with us, just carry-on bags.
So we each have a small roller bag and a backpack. Honestly,
it's not that difficult. Basically, we packed for about a week and plan on resetting wherever we stay. 

You can see a list of things we packed on my Amazon list. 

Big winner were the vacuum bags!

COUNTRY 1

LONDON

Great way to start off. England is very much like home in so many ways so it was very quick for us to get acclimated to life on the road. Big for us was to get used to the tube trains etc. Very cool. 
​
We spent a lot of time bouncing around the museums and sites. Met lots of people and had a blast. You can hear all the details on the blog post about London.

BEST THING WE ATE:

Manjal Restaurant & Bar

Amazing Indian restaurant on the water in Canary Wharf. By far the best Indian food I've ever had... in the world. 

THINGS WE DID

  • SKY GARDENS

  • WINDSOR CASTLE

  • NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

  • STONE HENGE

  • ROMAN BATHS IN BATH

  • TEA ON THE RIVER THAMES

WHERE WE STAYED

We rented a cute AirBnB just outside of London at Canary Warf

BEST THING WE DID:

Tea On The River Thames

Really fun river cruise with tea and snacks served right to your table. With all the river view it's a winner.
