Chase-ing Free Money Update

By Blakesjourney

So as you probably know, Linds and I will pretty much do anything for money. We’ve been rubbing a lot of pennies together lately to make some dimes. We’ve been tutoring, painting houses, chaperoning events, and of course, applying for bank accounts when there’s a pay off. In the case video’d below, we went... »

Farewell to Film: Part Two

By Blakesjourney

When Linds and I began to plan for our forthcoming year long round the world trip starting 6/2010, the topic of photography was a somewhat touchy subject.

Live Your Life…

By Lindsey

Ever since Blake and I have decided to tell people about our trip, we have caught a little flack here and there about traveling in a bad economy.  Some think it’s too risky to just pick up and leave a condo that is about $40,000 underappreciated.  Others wonder what we’ll do if we can’t... »

The BIG Decision…

By Lindsey

To go through with it, or to lead a responsible, normal life.  This is the question.  Blake and I have been puzzled by this question for years.  Upon graduating from the University of Central Florida, we both fell into education.  Blake got a job teaching Spanish at Colonial High School, and I obtained a... »
