They just couldn't give up their thirst for adventure...Even after a near-fatal rafting incident in Nepal inspired them to settle down and get married, these risk-takers still yearned to explore the world. Abandoning their deep roots and secure careers, the thirty-year-olds ignored the dire warnings of family and friends and sold everything to travel the globe.

When these newlyweds decide to traverse the earth, from Himalayan mountains to Hawaiian waves, the beauty they witness rests in the people they meet along the way, from noble rickshaw drivers to mobster-wannabe innkeepers. And despite enchanting encounters and stunning beauty, spending all this time together is testing their relationship in unexpected ways, as they both realize that daring dreams have a use-by date.

In this bold account of two intrepid travelers, Danon paints a compelling picture of exotic locations and even stranger characters. A must-read for anybody tempted to answer the siren's call, you'll witness how one spontaneous decision can totally rewrite the next chapter of your life.
