World Travel Blog

Greetings fellow travelers and world travel blog enthusiasts! The idea for this World Travel blog has been in the works for quite a while now and we’re looking forward to refining and adding to it so that it can become the best world travel blog we can possibly make it. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to quit your job, sell all your stuff and go travel the world? Sure you have! Would you write about it? Perhaps you would make your own world travel blog and share your one of a kind experiences with the rest of the world too? Or maybe you’d like to keep your traveling secrets all to yourself? :)

I just love traveling. I think being on the road is like a journey through life itself, the road is always changing, so no matter how many times you go down that same old road-there’s always something new to discover. This travel blog is all about our road trip discoveries- traveling leads to mental discoveries just as much as it does to physical discoveries-seeing new places, faces, and trying new things. Traveling has something for everyone and we hope our travel blog does too…whether you’re thinking about your own upcoming road trip, looking for tips or campground reviews, or want to compare notes about a place you’ve already been, or perhaps you’re just curious what the traveling lifestyle is all about.

That’s exactly what the Scribble World Travel Blog and road trip journal is all about. You don’t even have to be crazy like us, and quit your jobs and sell all your stuff-well..unless you want to :)
..but you don’t have to, because this is like getting a first class piggyback ride as we “scribble” around the world dodging cops, shirking responsibility, and in every way possible not acting our age-we just want to make the most of this silly life-in a meaningful, worthwhile and sophisticated sort of way.

I think everyday is better when you live like you’re on a road trip-finding inspiration in the ordinary..looking at life as though you may not pass this way again. Scribbleworld travel blog is filled with travel writing, pictures and music as well as amusing observations on humanity with lots of other interesting facts, figures and anomalies thrown in for good measure. This world travel blog boldly takes you across the U.S. in a small van with two cats, through the heart of Mexico City in a rented economy car and around rural North Western Australia by camel, an RV, a 4×4 and your own private plane to see Horizontal Falls from above and lots more. The views are spectacular from your armchair and you don’t even have to worry about motion sickness!

We love to travel. Some of our adventures have been on a shoestring budget costing less than $15/person/day while others have been a bit more posh and spendy. If you’re a traveler looking for interesting ideas, places to visit or ways to save money on your travels, you’ll find some good money saving travel tips worth noting here. Remember, your questions and suggestions are always welcome. May your travels be many and the road filled with inspiration!

Happy Travels!
Sandra & Chris

    It’s amazing how you traveled all over the country.
    It’s even more amazing that you have colorful symbols over a beautiful map representing it!

    Keep up the good work my friend!

    I did something like this with a friend when i was in college and i still fondly remember the memories. it is not the money and luxury that makes a trip memorable but rather the people you hang out with and meet in your trip.

    i couldn’t agree more with John. I think it is something all people should do before they get bogged down by a job and responsibility.

    This is the BEST World travel blog I have come across! You guys are great, thanks for the “piggyback” ride, I haven’t had one of those since I was 10, haha. I keep telling my wife we should do something like this, but she’s a skeptic.Oh well,keep telling it like it is. I added you to “my favorites” -I’ll be back.

    I did something like this on my motorcycle years ago. I put my stuff in storage then traveled around the world (ok, maybe just the U.S and a bit of Canada), but I had the time of my life! Gas was a lot cheaper then. I mostly camped but got a motel once a week or so. Traveling on a shoestring budget is a great experience to have, builds character, puts hair on your chest :)
