Two US Citizens in their sixties journey around the world in nine months. Ten countries and twenty flights later, both of their lives are changed. They find that continuous learning is the ultimate challenge and the only way to make life worthwhile. Traveling means living in the present; this requires constant attention to thoughts and experiences, each informing and directing the other. In the changing interplay of place and time, the vigilance to remain in the present takes an effort. Everything must be planned. Meals, rooms and transport unfold much as desired once the questions are known, such as: "How spicy is spicy food in Thailand? Is the hotel safe? Do we drive, or hire a driver? How long do we tour the Galapagos?" Find out what it is like to journey around the world in the extreme present.
