A big milestone we hit while in Hong Kong was our 100-day mark on the road! It’s hard to believe we’ve made it this far, and almost every day when I wake up I can’t believe that it’s all happening.

We’ve traveled to six different countries on three continents, visited over 20 cities, met up with dozens of family members and friends, had a couple bouts of stomach-related issues, met an unfriendly dog, saw a few natural wonders of the world, and much more.

Read on for some more of the highs, lows, and everything in between from these first 100 days!

Most Breathtaking Moment

Mary’s pick: The perfect and star-filled night skies in the desert of southwestern Bolivia. Absolutely no light pollution!

Vikram’s pick: Reaching Laguna de los Tres in front of Mt. Fitz Roy after a six-hour hike.

Most Memorable Mode of Transportation

Mary’s pick: Probably the rickety train we took in Bolivia, which we waited for at the station for about seven hours and then at the last minute realized that we had to print our tickets out at the counter. We barely made it on the train as it pulled away, and in the process I dropped and lost my fleece (just in time for the coldest part of the trip). At least we had a treat of watching Ant-Man in Spanish afterwards.

Vikram’s pick: Our first overnight bus ride, from Bogota to Manizales…which we were both really nervous about, but which ended up turning out completely fine.

Best Food

Mary’s pick: Since we didn’t go to the Tim Ho Wan dim sum place until after the first 100 days, I’ll have to say mondongo soup in Medellín. Ooh, or else the ceviche at La Mar in Lima! And of course, it was so nice to have home-cooked meals in Australia.

Vikram’s pick: Ceviche at La Mar in Lima.

Worst Place We Slept the Night

Mary’s pick: A toss-up between a metal chair in the Buenos Aires airport and a party hostel in La Paz with crazy, messy roommates.

Vikram’s pick: Our hostel in Lima, which had comically firm mattresses, as well as no fans or ventilation, forcing us to open the huge window facing the street and deal with streetlights and traffic noise. Oh, and when we moved to a private room it was full of cockroaches.

Favorite Item We Packed

Mary’s pick: My mumu! Lightweight and easy to pack, and perfect for sleeping and just hanging out around a hostel or apartment.

Vikram’s pick: My trusty five-year-old boat shoes, which look like they’re going to fall apart any day now. They’re surprisingly versatile—I can walk all day in them, they look decent enough for going out, and they dry relatively quickly when we get caught in the rain. I doubt they’ll last to the end of the trip, but they’ve served valiantly, and were well-worth the $60 or so I scraped together back in college.

Best Splurge

Mary’s pick: A nice, boutique hotel for our last night in Lima, after we fled our hostel due to a cockroach infestation!

Vikram’s pick: Going on a 10-minute helicopter ride at the Great Barrier Reef.

What We Miss Most from Home

Mary’s pick: I don’t really often miss the physical comforts of home, but I do miss the comfort of regularly being with my family and friends.

Vikram’s pick: My dog Kavi, who has yet to learn how to work Skype.

What We Don’t Miss from Home

Mary’s pick: Daily news of the 2016 presidential election, specifically anything that features Donald Trump’s face or voice.

Vikram’s pick: Talking about the election. American politics is a popular conversation topic everywhere in the world, but political conversation in America was pretty terrible before we left, and I can’t even imagine how bad it is now. I may leave every election year from now on.

What We’re Most Looking Forward to in the Next 100 Days

Mary’s pick: This is cheating a little bit because it already happened, we just haven’t covered it in the blog yet—but what I was most looking forward to at the 100-day mark was visiting my parents and extended family in the Philippines!

Vikram’s pick: Aggressively consuming Asian food.
