And the I'm So last week I've got somebody asking me if I can chat about my detailed plans for this year's travels and talk

about stops and overnights and what we're going to do and backup plans and all this sort of stuff.

This question to me, that implies the type of planning that Elizabeth and I just do not do.

When we travel, we generally have a destination in mind, you know, if we have any times that we have to be somewhere,

dates that we have to be somewhere, that's fine, we make note of that.

But otherwise, it's very loose.

We'll often decide on going somewhere and part way through we'll get sidetracked on something else maybe spend too much time in one spot and totally get rid of a whole section that we've planned on doing and it doesn't bother us at all

That's just the way we move the way we travel and as for the sites we see, well that's all a bit of a

crap shoot. Where we're going to stay totally, you know, just depends on everything.

Weather, where we are, what we feel like, where we're moving, all that sort of thing.

I mean, we have to work on the road, but other than that, we don't really have to be anywhere at any time, usually. So why make ourselves adhered to some sort of schedule just so that we cover off everything and dot all our

eyes and cross our teas with all of our sights that we want to see. Now in our minds a schedule would only

add stress to what otherwise turns out to be a great adventure. Anyway, what we're talking about this,

it got me thinking about an episode we did back in 2015 with a guy named Ian Coates. The episode was called Ian Coates, no map, no plan, no worries.

I mean, I think the title really says it. And Ian has a sort of an interesting approach to travel.

Well, actually that might be a complete understatement but his

story gets you asking some questions about the way you see things, the way you travel,

I mean just life questions I think in some ways in a lot of ways. So we decided to write Ian's story again only a slightly different version than before.

But after Ian we're going to talk with Roseanne and Jonathan Hanson from Overland Expo, they're authors, writers, and extremely passionate travel.

They've got a great story.
