Mark & Ciara's Travels

a 31 year old male traveling as a couple from Dublin

We are giving up on general responsible adulthood, hard work and monday mornings to travel the world for a year or so. Our first stop will be Boston from where we'll make our way across the U.S to LA and head to the Cook Islands and Fiji. From there on to New Zealand and finally into Australia where we plan to live and work as long as it takes to get a tan. P.S. We have since discovered that getting a tan takes a lot longer than a year, and as a result we have decided to travel as much of South East Asia as we can. Starting off in Bali, Indonesia and taking in Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. We should have a tan by then....even Ciara!
