What Did Other People Say
Jan 20, 2016
Daniel shared his vision with flOra and they both quit their jobs before the wedding and prepared to travel.
When they shared their idea to others about traveling for one year, there were friends that support them and thought it was cool idea, but there were two major comments, either - You are really naive OR You must be really rich. Neither of it is true!
Most people think traveling for one year is not for newly married young couple. Pursuing careers, saving to buy a house are seen to be more meaningful.
In fact, for us to stay at where we were in Hong Kong could be more expensive than travel. Rental in Hong Kong was really high, increasing the living cost. If we traveled in Asia, the cost of living in most countries was cheaper than Hong Kong. We made travel choices that were not necessarily the most fancy and comfortable ones, and with a budget. We do not think travel has to be trying the best restaurants or live in five stars hotels all the time. We want to spend time together and learn how to live together, with much or little.
Not everyone understand or fully supported us, but we trust in the provision from God. No matter what we are going to experience, we will have each other and stay together.

1 Year Honeymoon Adventure in Asia
5.8k views14 subscribers
When Daniel was young, he had a dream: to have an extended honeymoon with the woman he loves.
He did not know how she looks or where is she from, but he wanted to spend the first year of his marriage with his wife.
Inspired by the Bible verse, Deuteronomy 24:5 : When a man get married. The first year he shall not call to war or business, but stay at home and please his wife.
He thought what if people actually do it?
Life is short and full of hustles. Soon we will have kids, pursuing career, earning money and the list goes on and on. If we are to be married for 50 years of our lives, 1 year out of 50 is only 2%. Why don't we devote one year to just focus on marriage, enjoy and learn about each other, build a strong foundation for marriage, and create the memories that we would never forget?
We would never have the first year of marriage back. If we rush back to work the next day after our wedding and be occupied with other priorities in life, will we get to know each other’s needs or spend quality time together? So me (flOra) and my husband Daniel decided to give our best time and attention to each other in our first year of marriage.
