Following The Stones

Travel Along

We retired early to save our physical and emotional health. We chose to jump into our Go-Go years with gusto and invite you along our stone pathway. We will bring you authentic information from our lived experiences and hope you find some useful stones for your own life journey.

Announcing... our 2026 Travel Plan!!!

We used several of these Most Useful Travel Resources to make our 2026 travel plans. When we launch for 2026 we will use many of the rest of them. Do you use any of these useful websites and apps when you travel?

Before we solidified our travel plans for 2026, we made sure to understand War and Travel Advisories. Are you aware of these too? Do you plan ahead for emergencies, terrorism, protests, or political unrest?

Want a reason to smile or laugh today? Read or picture walk our new article about The European Bicycle Culture.

Then fill your heart or stomach with the Recipe of the Week in our newest segment on the Lifestyle page where we share food favorites from our first big trip. We will continue this segment until we leave again at which time it will return to the new foods along the travel path.

**March 2026 UPDATE**

It's time to leap again!

The 2026 Itinerary might be a budget breaker, but we will balance it with a less expensive 2027 like up. Using a multi-year plan for travel has been very successful for long-term travelers.

Leave a Stone

Throughout history stones have been used for housing, streets, cooking, jewelry, art, and weaponry. When you leave a kind comment on our website, you leave behind a stone for all to see and learn from. Feel free to ask questions, make suggestions, or tell us how much you miss us. Once a kind stone is cast, others can roll your stone along the path by replying to your comment.

Although we are enjoying ourselves completely in this new nomadic lifestyle, we miss our friends and family significantly.
