My wife and I took some time away from work to travel the world. I modified our Honda Element into a micro camper overlanding vehicle, and we drove with our dog from Seattle down to South America and back. We also traveled to Europe for a driving tour of France, and in the intervening time I focused my creative energy on photography and music while doing some freelance software QA.
