  • Mike and Anne from Honeytrek.com - Long Honeymoon Turned into Lifetime Travellers
    May 4 2021

    Mike & Anne Howard left on their honeymoon in January 2012 and never came home. They created HoneyTrek.com to chronicle their journey across all seven continents and help people mobilize their travel dreams. Their story of the World's Longest Honeymoon, savvy tips, and blog have been featured in hundreds of international media outlets—from USA Today to Lonely Planet. Firm believers that love and travel make the world a better place, they authored Ultimate Journeys for Two—National Geographic's bestselling couples travel guide. To write their newest book, Comfortably Wild, they bought a vintage RV (aka Buddy the Camper) and traveled 73,000 miles across 9 countries to find the best glamping experiences in North America. Along the way, they fell in love with RVing and have made Buddy their primary home and adventure mobile. They've taken this 1985 Toyota Sunrader from the tip of Baja to the Arctic Circle and 50 states in between. They pride themselves on their small-space (104-square feet), off-grid living (all solar, no generator), and living life to the fullest on a shoe-string budget ($900 a month all in).  Follow their adventures @HoneyTrek
