Hey Guys!
Kim here, writing about who we actually are and what we are doing taking up space in the blogosphere. First things first. "We" are a couple, and we are called Micah and Kim. A few quick facts:
- We are in luuurve and living together while I finish up my undergraduate and Micah works on his Master's degree.
- I'm German by birth, a triple citizen, and have traveled to 16 countries. More to come, shortly (I'm doing a 17 month RTW trip working as a biology field assistant and volunteering, you can read about it at my travel blog) :-)
- Micah's got two Europe trips under his belt. Ten countries and counting.
- We like biking, our dog (Kody!), comic books, reading, eating, cooking, cleaning (HA! yeah right!), geology, science, and generally just cool stuff.
The whole family tailgating before a football game!
Hence the name of the blog: Around the world in 80 meals. Catchy, eh? (Micah gets credit for coming up with it!)
This picture just about says it all.
Anyway, you may be wondering why we are doing this. There are numerous reasons:
1) We are bored. We are bored of eating the same old meals over and over again. We are bored of having the same hobbies. It's time to shake it up a little.
2) We have mediocre cooking skills so it will be fun (or poisonous) experience.
3) We have realized how little we know about world cultures and food traditions. For example: What in the world do people in Afghanistan eat? I don't know. Micah doesn't know. But, I guess that's the point of this project.
4) I'm leaving on a seventeen month around-the-world trip in January, and this is how Micah and I will be able to do a mini, cheap "trip" together before I leave.
The only rules for our adventure are to eat and be merry. OK, that's a lie - we have a few more, and you can read about them here.
Let's see how far we get!
