Emma and Anna were both teaching English in Beijing and happened to meet through mutual friends. They shared a love for fun and adventure... they quickly became best friends and travel buddies.
Though they thoroughly enjoyed Beijing... the food, the culture, moonlighting as socialites in the expatriate scene... they traded in the VIP treatment and comfort of their belongings and apartments to rough it around SouthEast Asia!
After 10 planes, 56 buses, 29 tuk-tuks, 12 ferries, 11 taxis, 9 subways, 2 motorcycles, 1 elephant, 1 bamboo raft, and 1 rickshaw, Emma and Anna parted ways. Emma was back in Australia and Anna was back in the USA. Even with 14,000 km/8,900 miles between them, Emma and Anna remained close.
Emma has even been to the USA to visit twice! Once for the road trip, "16 states, 8 trucker hats, and Route 66," and the other time for Anna's wedding.
It was on their epic road trip across America and back again that Emma and Anna saw a billboard...
Fill up at Shell and get a free bag of oranges!!!
"What would we do with a free bag of oranges?" -Anna
"Eat them, juice them, throw them at people...cars..." -Emma
Though we still haven't decided what we would do with free oranges one thing is certain... no matter where we are in the world, or in life for that matter, we will always remain close! There is no better way to stay in touch than to send postcards... all across the world... so that the people that matter most can have a glimpse into life as we know it.
What would you do with a bag of free oranges?
