Uncornered Market: Tips from An Around the World Travel Couple

This is a great little article about our friends over at Uncornered Market.  Some really great travel info, advice, and reading from these experienced wanderlusts.

In December 2006, Dan and Audrey quit their jobs to follow their dream of traveling around the world for a year or two.  Five years and over 70 countries later, they are still going…and still married.

In addition to traveling to the usual suspects like Italy or Thailand, they also go to off-beat places like Tajikistan, Paraguay, Bangladesh, and Estonia– with a focus on meeting people from all walks of life and eating as much street food as they can find.

Their popular travel blog, Uncornered Market, allows you to follow along with them on their journey. The blog serves up travel stories and photos from around the world, life lessons learned through travel, street food escapades, profiles of inspirational people and organizations, and humorous vignettes from a life of budget travel.

In addition, Uncornered Market offers tips and advice for travelers and photographers with the idea that you can create your own adventure and come home with amazing photos from your travels.
