If you’re on the road, receiving mail may be a problem. Enter the Poste Restante service – a system where you send your letter or package to a post office. They then hold it for the recipient till they pick it up. It is pretty cool that this still works – I haven’t heard of anyone using this service outside of 1930s books, but today I found myself at the Kuala Lumpur main post office.
Me: any poste restante for Martin Engstrom?
Malaysia Post: sure, here’s your parcel.
Me: Thanks.
Couldn’t be smoother. We like it.

You know the saying, “to fly by the seat of your pants?” Well, that's been our philosophy for most of our adult lives – before and after meeting, falling in love and marrying. We're now taking that idea on an extended round-the-world trip. Follow us as we share the good, the bad and the downright nasty of life on the road.
