Who or what is MoWenck?

 

MoWenck is the dynamic duo Amy Mo and Tyler Wenck, a pair of 20-somethings from Berkeley, California with nothing better to do than enjoy life. Remember, the MoWenck, the Mo’ better.

 

So what?!?

 

In April of 2002 MoWenck traveled to the Hawaiian island of Kauai for Tyler’s sister’s wedding. While wedding preparations were finalized we decided to trek the fantastic Napali Coast and spend a few nights camping on Kalalau Beach. While camping we met a couple from England who were on ‘holiday’ just traveling the globe for a year. The seeds were planted. Nearly two years later we have finally made our plans to trot the globe. Please join us on our journey by accessing our travel-blogs and pictures posted on-the-fly while we traverse the planet.

 

The following is our ‘itinerary’ for the next 15 months. Of course, the itinerary is more flexible than a Chinese acrobat and subject to change at the whim of MoWenck.
