Hey you two! You guys were a runner up for our Mistletoe Moment contest. congrats!
http://1000fights.com/the-best-mistletoe-moment-of-2011/
That is SO AWESOME. You guys rock. Thanks for holding such a cool contest. We love your site, so fun. hahah.
I love the idea for your trip! Congratulations on getting married and good luck on your journey!
Thanks for the love Tiffany. 2 weeks till lift off….EEEEKKKKK
I love what you’re doing here. Enjoy the ride! This journey will go down in your history books as the best decision ever. “Time will enrich your lives shared together”
thanks so much @twitter-256591165:disqus we are still feeling the love after 362 days on the road. thanks for following along!
Just got back home. Tal and I really enjoyed getting to know you guys over the 4 day trek to Machu Picchu. Looking forward to seeing some of your pics. BTW, I am starting a Prehistoric Bocce Ball League here in Florida and would love if you could come down to throw the ceremonial first rock of the season 🙂 Wish you guys the best and thanks for hanging out with us. It greatly enriched our experience.
wow, must have missed this when you posted first, sorry about that Eddie. Yeah we had a blast with you and Tal as well. What a great trek. Pics are live, have a look –
https://www.honeytrek.com/trekking-to-machu-picchu/ – Regarding that PBBLeague, i would love to come down and throw the commemorative stone….just watch those guys can get a serious roll and take out a shin bone! ps. We would love if you and Tal would each leave a comment on the MP post 🙂
Enjoyed your article on Death Road. Had watched a TV travel program on it a couple of years ago when busses were the travel vehicle. Glad to see it transformed to a bike path. I love articles about bike travel. Have you seen Tim and Cindi Travis’s book on biking through S. America?
Jim, thanks so much for leaving a comment, did you hear about us through Anne’s article on the Death Road on Huffington Post? If so, you should check out our post here (
https://www.honeytrek.com/la-paz-via-the-death-road/ ), the images and text line up much better than the HP version. We haven’t seen Tim & Cindi’s book, do you know if they have a blog we could check out? Sounds fantastic biking through SA!
Mike
Thanks for your reply. Yes it was the Huff Post article. Here’s a link to Tim and Cindie Travis’s website. http://www.downtheroad.org/
Their book Down the Road about their biking in SA including Bolivia I think you’d enjoy. Their goal is to keep traveling like this around the World. Sounds like you are doing something similar.
Enjoyed your Brazilian travel photos and discussion. I was in the Peace Corps in Brazil and am married to a Brazilian who loves Carnaval. We were in the Amazon region in March 09 and your photos reminded me of our piranha fishing.
I’m curious if you had any problems with being robber or attacked. The Brazilian news is full of assaults.
The Brazilian news had a report of a British couple who cycled circumnavigating SA starting and ending in Rio. Here’s a Utube link about their trip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ob09C6bgzO8
Jim
wow, travelling India by bike is also ambitious! he is on quite the adventure! and that youtube video about cycling before the olympics was pretty cool too. thanks so much for sharing the links and coming back to leave a second comment, you rock!
Hey Mike and Ann,
I’m on a round the world trip of my own and have recently met 2 people in 2 different places who know you. Can’t remember the names of the group I met at the Movenpick in Jordan, but they were Americans in Jordan for a big wedding. Sitting next to Erik Leo right now in Tel Aviv, who mentioned your blog too. Small world, eh? Would also love to chat offline as have a few “technical” questions about your blog. Mine’s at roundtheworldwithdeb.com. Looking forward to reading the chapters on the spots I’m headed to soon 🙂
Hi Anne and Mike
We’ll miss you on Xmas Eve.Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!!!!
Nan Omer and Kerem
thanks Nan, for the well wishes, holiday cheer, and for taking the time to leave us a comment….its great to know family and friends are so close, even when they are physically 8,751 miles away.
Bilge family! So happy see you are with us on our adventures; thanks so much for following along! Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you too!
A Very, Very happy New year with many, many more adventures, lots fun and love. .
Missed you enormously at Xmas.
I always enjoy reading your adventures and in many ways, feel like I am traveling with you.
Christmas was not the same without you! Thanks for your love and support, Shakuntala ; ) And happy happy new year!
debbie, i tried to hit your site, but it was “overloaded”. with regards to those two people that is so cool. do you remember anything about the people you met in Jordan, were they from the states? yeah Erik Leo is a good buddy of mine from Carnegie Mellon.
with regards to your blog shoot me any questions you have, and i will do my best to answer them [email protected] – looking forward to sharing our travels and reading yours as well 🙂
Haha! Such a crazy small world indeed. The comment above totally jogged my memory. Mike, we met Deb on the patio overlooking the Dead Sea in Jordan. She mentioned she was traveling around the world on her own, and that’s when I plugged honeytrek.com 🙂
Helen, myself and our new crew of American, Canadian and Irish friends were all touring around Jordan for the wedding of one of my brother’s Lehigh buddies.
Wow Bernie, seriously it is a small world…and how the heck did you come across this random comment on our About Us page? I was thinking there was a snowballs chance in hell of finding out who are my “American Friends in Jordan”. How was Jordan? We were thinking about adding that on to the end of the HoneyTrek 🙂
Yeah…pure luck I came across the random comment on the About Us page 🙂
Jordan was awesome! We loved it. I would recommend checking out the following: Petra, Aqaba, Dead Sea, Wadi Rum, and of course Amman City. If you are interested in seeing Roman Ruins, Jerash is very interesting too!
Hey guys, nice meeting you this morning at the fish house! Safe travels, Pat and Ian
Pat & Ian…it was great meeting you guys as well….those fish were unreal right? and to think that we eat so much of that fish in north america, it really blew our mind (and continues to). are you guys still on the road? or back home now.
Your travel philosophy is so much like our own! We’re between tjourneys now, trying to replenish the bank account for the next extended trip and scheming for a way to stop having to stop traveling at all! Glad we came upon your site. Safe travels!
So cool…yeah it seems to be a solid philosophy (and one a bunch of other great travelers follow). so great to connect up with you guys….are we Facebook fans of you yet? what is your URL over there?
I’d love to chat with you guys to do an interview about you for my blog. Can you shoot me an email? [email protected]
email has been sent! looking forward to it Lauren
Thanks!
hi guys! been enjoyng your blogs…have a proposition for you! is there a way to contact you in PM? Happy Travels 🙂
Well thanks so much Annie for reading our blog, and saying hello. We would love to hear your proposition, shoot us an email at [email protected]

Why you did not visit India ?
We didn’t go on this trip but and both spent a month in India a few years back and loved it!
Why didn’t you choose wonder land Sri Lanka????
we TOTALLY wanted to visit Sri Lanka Zinan, but we just didn’t have the time….are you from there? When we DO go there, which we WILL….where should we go?
You guys are doing a wonderful job here as sharing these information….. I would suggest you to visit Incredible INDIA only once. It will be a unforgettable experience for you guys…. I hope you will visit soon…..
Thanks so much Vinod. We love India and both have been, albeit separately. hopefully we can extend our honeymoon there someday!
Hi friends, it was nice to read your notes..and I have one question that why did you avoid India??
Hi Mike & Ann

When are you going to take another “honeymoon”? 5th year anniversary coming up? 10th?
Life’s a honeymoon as we say…we are in Ecuador for the month and who knows where we’ll be in March for our 5th anniversary…that’s the exciting part!
Exciting adventure! I featured you and your adventures in my Visit50.com post on honeymooning around the world – check it out here:
http://visit50.com/honeymoon-around-the-world/
That was a great article, thanks so much for including us Todd!
Hello! I’m so curious how you do this – no house, no student loans, no bills, no job? (Obviously, no kids or pets.) Do you have a post you can link to, so I can read more about how you were able to begin your journey?
Hi Mandy, thanks for reaching out to us. This Daily Mail article did a good job on explaining our travel beginnings http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-2968448/Is-world-s-longest-honeymoon-Newlyweds-quit-jobs-visit-six-continents-33-countries-302-places-675-days-yes-together.html and we also wrote an article on Huffington Post on “How to travel the world for $40 a day,” which gives our concrete steps to start a trip and travel affordably. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/anne-e-collins/how-we-traveled-the-world_b_6580858.html. Are you thinking about taking an RTW or extended trip? We’d be happy to answer any more questions you have!
I use points and miles to travel, but mostly just a week or two, here and there. I’m perfectly happy with that, as I am employed, have bills to pay, and pets I love (wouldn’t give them up to travel all the time), but I enjoy reading about the adventures of others. Thanks for the links – I’ll check them out!
Just came across your blog and I’ve been thinking about taking 2 years off traveling as well.
How much do you estimate you have spent so far in the last 2 years traveling or how much do you think a single person would spend that long traveling around the world without relying on any other steady source of income?
I want to have an idea if what I’ve saved so far may be enough.
Ken, that’s awesome that you are looking to travel for a couple years. Worth every moment and cent! With our budget of $37 per day, we are at around $13,000 per person per year (cheaper than staying at home watching Planet Earth ;). We found lots of ways to keep our budget low but still do all the amazing things we wanted. We’d be happy to talk travel hacking and creative saving with you…Feel free to give us a call this week (888) 852-9383.
hello Mike and Anne, this is Rick and Sherry we stopped and helped you out on the hill at arcdia park just checked out your honey trek and think its great. good luck!!!
You guys are the best! We would have had that van on a tow truck if it wasn’t for you! Thanks for checking out HoneyTrek too, hope you enjoy the adventures!
This has a quite huge influence on business platforms which are handling its existence on Facebook.
Wow! I am only 14 and I have a lot of years ahead of me but this is exactly what I want to do with my life. You guys are incredible! Thank you for the inspiration!
As you do this, be very aware of your extreme privilege as young, white Americans with financial resources. The people in a lot of the places you’re visiting may lack access to clean water, electricity, food, or live in fear of terrifying violence everyday. Instead of going on an extended vacation, maybe you could use your time in these places to work with local or international aid agencies. Maybe, since you have the time, you could stay and make a difference where it’s really needed.
Sarah, the White Guilt thing is a tired old act. Why don’t YOU go and do it? Typical preachy Millenial.
You guys are total badasses. Enjoy life and each other and ignore the people on this thread who want you to feel guilty about your travels. Thank you for opening up and sharing your experience with the world. Keep rocking out while you discover this beautiful planet!
I really like what you guys have done…your journey is so amazing!
Dood, what’s with wearing that goofy hat all the time? Indoors… outdoors… in the shower?? The Indoor Ballcap is the 21st century toupee, I guess. Let that chrome dome shine, brotha!
Hey Mike and Anne, interesting, but I came across you two from a Dell/Microsoft commercial while watching the season premier of “The Blacklist.” I Googled you guys because my wife and I want to start traveling next year as our kids are grown and your site looked interesting on TV. I came here and your site is INCREDIBLE!! It’s the type of traveling we want to do, the non-touristy stuff. We had been planning to rent a little apartment for a month next summer off the southern coast of Portugal and just play it by ear, but looking at all the locations you two have been to, I think we may have to rethink our travel plans as we explore your site. Great Job and thanks for sharing! We signed up for your newsletter too.

Hi Mike,
I had a suggestion. If you travel to India, please do visit Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka. It is a beautiful place. Not many people know about this city. Also there are many parks in central Bangalore. There is also a castle. Please do visit Bangalore. Thanks!
This blog is really interesting. I have bookmarked it. Do you allow guest posting
on your site ? I can provide hi quality articles for you.
Let me know.
I just found your site and was intrigued. I’m reading a lot of similar sites where people seem to spend their whole lives travelling, but I’ve no idea how people are funding this. OK so it might be cheaper to live in some countries abroad than at home, but still , you have to eat, travel, stay somewhere. I was hoping to find out more here on your about page, but it says you gave up your jobs – so where is your money coming from?
I’d love to learn more about the financial side of your exploration and adventures, how much money you started with, what your typical expenses are, and where you get the money to keep on travelling. Thank you and keep exploring.
Link exchange is nothing else except it is only placing
the other person’s blog link on your page at suitable place and other
person will also do same in favor of you.
Something unique and adorable…so when u r coming India.
Dear Anne & Mike God bless u . I read about u’r tour in news paper & feel very glad u’r enjoying life when will u visit india i am eagarly waiting to meet u. Thank u dear
Great idea! Come and visit Macedonia in Europe! It’s a great country and you’ll have a great time here! A lot of interesting cities and great culture and people!
hi…i just go through your website and found that, its really nice….congratulations…i have only one question for you…why don’t you choose INDIA in your asia visit. you really missed one of the most beautiful place in the world…
Just love the concept of The Worlds Longest Honeymoon!
Loads of great content and amazing pics too. I’m a Fan!

Great site! Safe travels!
Great history guys!!! Can’t believe you’ve been travelling for so long!!! So you haven’t been back home yet in all this time??? When are you planning to finish?
I’m genuinely enjoying your site Mike and Ann. You guys have been to SO many amazing places. I have already picked out a few new spots to add to my bucket list!
Thanks for making such a great blog. I love traveling to all these destinations through your eyes and wonderful photographs! Keep sharing guys.
Thanks for the wonderful comment Shakeel! Glad to have you along for the ride 🙂
Love what you guys are doing here at HoneyTrek. How long have you been traveling? And what are your favorite destinations you’ve visited lately?
Thanks so much Amy. We’ve been on the road fulltime since January 2012, so we are just about to start our 10th year on the road. As to our favorite destinations lately….so tough. We absolutely loves the Azores, have you heard of it? Then we drove the entire Route 66, that was awesome. Oh and we hit our 50th state (Wisconsin) which was a total suprise how cool it was!
