Tanjaua, Hoteni Festival

May 14, 2013
Hoteni Festival
The Summer has kicked off in Northern Romania now for sure and the farmers are back out in their fields getting things sorted for the coming season.  To celebrate this, the next village over from Breb throws a yearly festival called Tanjaua (or Tinjaua).  Katie heard about this last week and we were all very excited to see what it was all about. All we knew was that one guy has been in his field before all others and everybody would carry him down to the river to ‘cleanse’ him.  Then there’d be a party.  Sunday is our day off work and we’re always up for soaking up a little more of the culture here, especially if there’s a party involved! Arriving at the Festival Katie drove us all in the Dacia in the morning, worried that she... Read on»

Wadi Rum Gallery Featured
Here is a selection of photos from our month working for a Bedouin camp owner in Wadi Rum in Jordan.  The work was a lot easier than expected.  It was winter time so there weren’t a great deal of guests coming through.  We had plenty of time to help Eid with his website though. In our time there we feltlike a part of the family.  Eid took us to thefamily get-togethers and treated us to lots of nice experiences.  His children were incredible and we also spent lots of time with both his wives. Wadi Rum is an incredible place.  The mountains there are awesome with the echoes bouncing around all over the place, especially during a huge thunderstorm.  We even got to see snow!  Eid drove us into the middle of the desert with his whole family; we collected firewood and threw...

Working Our Way Around The World

Our world is huge! It is full of awesome places and incredible people. It's our goal (and the goal of many others, I'm sure) to see as much of this world and to meet as many of its people as is possible in our relatively short lives.

We (like so many others) have spent a vast proportion of our lives working hard and gathering money together for what seems like little reward. We bought nice things and ate out on occasion. We wanted to go on holiday too, but we knew it'd be over before we knew it and we'd be right back where we started.

Well, we discovered a way to combine work and the holiday. To travel cheaply and to meet people of other cultures as more than just tourists. We took a big leap of faith, but so far its worked out very well for us. To find out more about us and how we travel click here. And come back to follow our adventures on the blog.
