Why We're Super

I thought I'd take this lazy day opportunity to clear up what's actually going on here. In case you were confused.


The story of Milly and Mihai begins the day we each boarded flights abroad.  That day several years ago now, is the day we became super heroes that saved ourselves from the relatively laid out path in front of us.  What was originally going to be a GAP year in Ireland pre-university for me, and a stint living in London before settling down back home for Phil, turned out to be the head shake we needed to realize that maybe travelling the world is where we're supposed to be.  


Phil (whose real name is Michael, hence Mihai, the Romanian version) and I (Emily) met in Eastern Europe back in the spring of 2009.   


Despite the fact that he stole my pizza out of the hostel fridge and left a drunken note written on the box, I visited him at his place in London a few weekends later.  There, we developed a taste for strawberry water after a long day at Church, and cautiously laid the foundation for the most epic adventure either of us had ever experienced.  


Us two amigos met up and travelled the Balkans for a month that summer.  By late August, it was certain that track 11 was not the end.  So post much planning and dossing about on both sides of the world, we're finally getting together this September to keep the dream alive.  4 months of wanderlust in Southeast Asia + 1 month of lapping up the laid back life in Australia = why did I even go to VIU in the first place?


In the meantime, Phil works in Australia as a supply teacher, while I pin down multiple jobs on an island somewhere in order to save money for this trip.


We'd love to take with us as many friends and family on this journey possible - virtually.  I started this blog because I believe we have a unique travel voice to share with you.  So subscribe if you're inclined:  we promise an up to date chronicle of where we are, what we're doing and the sights we've seen - this will include written posts, photos and maybe even a video now and then.


thanks for reading!
