We Said Go Travel Newsletter 40: Dec. 17, 2013

Hello from Malaysia! We left Central America, had a brief stop in Los Angeles and are now in Langkawi, Malaysia. We enjoyed Tune Hotels in Kuala Lumpur and the Armenian Street Heritage Hotel in Penang and will share photos and more from there soon!

A year ago, George and I were traveling in India and now we are in Malaysia working on taking our India videos and photos and making them into movie stories to share! One of my favorite writers, Seth Godin recently wrote "Stories are the way we navigate our world, our chance to make sense of who we are and what we do." We look forward to making sense of three months in India. During the last year and a half on the road, we have had to replace nearly all our electronics. The moral of the story is don't forget to back up all of your files! A giant thank you and debt of gratitude to our friend, Steve, who managed to recover our photos and videos from our broken external drive and make our movie making this month possible!

Thank you to the over 320 writers who chose to share their stories in our Gratitude Writing Contest and to all of you who helped promote our contest. We will continue to publish the entries on our site until they are all live and then plan to announce the winners in Jan 2014. A new contest with larger prizes will begin after the New Year!

We have been writing about our summer travels in the Philippines and Palau and recently the Palau Pacific Resort asked to use our sunset photo as their electronic holiday card!

Recent Huffington Post Articles: Sustainable Travel about the book, Looptail, the company G adventures, Carpe Dateum, Seize the Date! Which seems ever so relevant as this week is our 4th wedding anniversary and next month will be seven years from our first blind date!

Johnny Jet shared our story about Palawan Above and Below the Water, and Curated Quotes included us in an article 40 Best Travel Quotes from 40 Best Travel Bloggers!

Book Review From Don't Stop Living:

It's also an immaculate love story within, including private e-mail messages the couple sent each other to begin with, the decision to take 11 months out to see the world together, the falling in love on the road story...

For me, the best thing about Traveling in Sin is the way it's written. It's a passionate, enthusiastic, real-life travel memoir. The joint authorship gives it that gender splitting edge. They are telling their travel story the way it is, the way any traveller should.

Whether you're a seasoned backpacker, a high end traveller, a holiday maker or someone who just loves a real life travel and love story, get downloading this book! It will make a great read on your next journey and you may be suitably inspired.

Our Memoir is available: Traveling in Sin

We left last July for Indonesia for this one year journey and five years ago in July for our first one year sabbatical! Read our memoir, Traveling in Sin, to learn how we met online, and chose to meander from Indonesia to Mongolia. Along the way, I lost over fifty pounds and we got engaged underwater. This book is NOT a collection of blog posts. We have never published this story before! Enjoy all the colorful characters we met and the tears and triumphs of a Peace Corps Worker and a Princess (cruises employee) finding their way together in Asia.
