What it's all about

Eudaimonia?

I googled "Latin words for travel", I came across a page that had this cool word (though it's actually a Greek word).

Eudaimonia nicely summarizes what Lindy and I are trying to get out of these travels.

We won't be coming back with this Greek concept tattooed in Mandarin around our biceps, so grant me patience with the mild pretentiousness of the blog title :)

About this site

This site will hopefully be different, it will hopefully remain current and updated, and above all it will hopefully be interesting. 

I'm pretty sure not every post will not appeal to everyone (although if it does, I'll be thrilled). I won't just be writing about where we're going or what I did. 

I want to learn and recognize differences between seemingly mundane things . See which countries bring out the most physical activity in us, which countries get us eating, spending, drinking the most or least, or learn what countries and people evoke the the greatest response.

Blogging, it turns out to be a lot of work.

Goals

We'd love to get it all figured out.

We're going to learn how long it takes to reach 1,000,000 steps.

What will be the strangest, most out of context, overheard conversation we'll overhear?

How far will our money go? Best beer? Worst food? Nicest people? We have lots of questions we're looking to answer.

What makes people successful? In their own minds and the minds of others?
