This section is a catch-all of interesting information. Maybe you have wondered "what  
does one pack for a year of travel?" or maybe you are just looking for a new beer to

like to see included in this section of our website.

Below is a running total of some of our  travel stats. Don't worry, we won't share
things like "number of days we wore the same pair of underwear!" Below is a
compilation of random statistics that we find interesting, and will only become more so
as our adventure continues.
