Travel for Two: An Interview with 11 Traveling Duos
Tips on all types of finance travel questions and more We Said Go Travel- Savings tips:
1. Eat where locals eat
2. Stay in lower end accommodations. As long as a room is clean, it does not have to have every amenity. If you are away on a long trip, most people cannot afford to have luxury every night.
3. Mix it up: sometimes you can buy a bottle of wine or spirits at a store instead of going to bars for your drinks. Read the full interview on MonkeyBrewster.com

Trippers of the Week at Tripping.com
You both spent 11 months wandering Southeast Asia; what are some of your most memorable moments from your journey?
George: 1. Proposing to Lisa underwater in Koh Lipe, Thailand 2. Seeing the quantity and diversity of animals in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia.
Lisa, you’ve visited more than 100 countries. What has been your favorite country to visit so far? I would have to say from our year trip Mongolia was one of my most favorite! I loved the vast expanse of nothing that they call the Gobi Desert. It is spectacular. We did an eleven-day van trip with another couple who we met as we got into the van. I also think of Thailand as my future home. We cannot wait to get back to Thailand!

Today we have the fine pair behind the super blog We Said Go Travel. With well over 100 countries tucked away in Lisa and George’s repertoire, these guys are experts! Their blog is full of videos, info and tales from far flung places.
Tell us the story! How did you guys meet and what made you choose to write a travel blog? George found me online—and we started traveling together almost immediately. Our first journey was to Fiji and Vanuatu. In Vanuatu, we went to a village, met a Peace Corps worker and I had my first bucket bath. When we started our first year-long journey, we wrote a newsletter every month. After we got married, we went from our “He Said, She Said” to our website: We said Go Travel. Read the full interview.
