Today we meet friends Cherie Pinkerton and Lori Foulds from Manitoba, Canada! These two travel buddies met through work and found out that they share a passion in exploring new places! Curt and I met them on our bike and sail trip through Croatia and felt they would be the perfect pair to talk to about the amazing trip we all experienced! (We even talk about the one scary time that I almost bit the dust right in front of Cherie going up a very steep mountain pass as a tour bus passes us!) It is such a thrill when you meet new friends with common travel and retirement goals!
