About Us

In One Year...

Friends and Family,

In less than one year the two of us are going on an adventure. We will have been together ten years; Pearce having finished twenty-something years of education and training; and Allyson finalizing her Masters in Anthropology. We love to travel, but Pearce has not had an extended period of time to do so, until now.

After this last year of Neurology residency, Pearce will be doing a Fellowship at Emory for specialization in Epilepsy. They have been very gracious to give him three months, from July 1st to September 30th, 2011 to travel the Asian Continent. We will be starting with a homecoming trip to the country in which Allyson spent two years in the Peace Corps: Mongolia. This is something we wanted to finally share together as Pearce has never been.

Other than that we have very little planned out, and would really love your help in creating a rough travel itinerary.

So if you have an amazing places in Asia you would recommend based on personal experience, i.e. hiking in China, scuba diving in Micronesia--we want to know!

We would also love to hear about the places you would love to go to in Asia if you could--the things that are on your own personal life list and we should definitely consider.

Lastly, if you have any friends or family in an Asian city (any) that would be willing to 1) send us an e-mail of what's not to miss in his/her city, 2) give us an insider's tour, and/or 3) house two enthusiastic travelers so they can save money, we would be very grateful.

Feel free to respond to this blog or email us at allyson.korb@gmail.com if you want to help us plan our trip of a life time.

Many Thanks,

Allyson and Pearce

  2. So, if you're going back to Uvs, I highly recommend dropping down through Khovd and into western China. Check out Xinjiang (specifically Kashgar), then take the train east through Xian (to see the Terracotta Warriors, etc) to Beijing. I don't have any contacts in these places anymore, but China is dirt cheap anyway...
