So this is sort of out of the bag already if you read my post in career and education about blogging....
My boyfriend and I are leaving in September to travel for a few years. We are selling our cars, renting my house, quitting jobs, and doing all that scary stuff. Our plan is to not plan too much and just do what we want while we are out. We are researching now to see where we might want to go and how we can support ourselves. We are going first to Buenos Aires, Argentina or Montevideo, Uruguay to learn Spanish. We will be there a few months then probably spend the 6-9 months backpacking in South America. After that we are planning to go somewhere in southeast Asia (Thailand or Malaysia maybe) and teach English for about a year. Then we aren't sure were next. Maybe Spain, Morrocco, or Madagascar.
I have lots of questions, but right now I just want help naming our blog. We are planning to start a travel blog so friends and family can follow us around the world. We are also hoping it may pick up enough readers that we can make a little money through ads. Our names are Mandy and Bryan. MandyandBryan.com is available, but I don't know. It needs to be easy to remember. Any ideas?
If anyone has done anything like this, I'm definitely open to advice, suggestions, and warnings.
I have no advice to offer, but I just wanted to tell you that I think what you guys are doing is absolutely amazing and I think you're going to have such a mind-blowing experience! Be sure to post your blog here - I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be interested in reading it!
i kinda like the name mandyandbryan. for some reason, i always remember people's names, but when it's a phrase i always mess it up when i type it in.
on a side note, i immediatley thought of bryanboy (a completely ridiculous blog when i read your post).

I think it's awesome you guys are doing that. You will definitely have a lot of fun. I think the places you've listed so far sound really fabulous. If I were you, I'd also venture a little further to either New Zealand or Australia. www.mandyandbryan.com is easy to remember; I'd go with that. Good luck!
