Tristan and Danyelle Pollock didn’t rush into marriage. They were together for 11 years before wedding in August 2017.
They plan to make a home and start a family but aren’t rushing that, either.
If that paints the Pollocks as cautious and conventional, consider that they’ve just spent a year and a half in 55 countries — cruising the Nile in Egypt, practicing yoga in Bali, luxuriating in Icelandic hot springs and plunging into the river in St. Petersburg, Russia, in the dead of winter.
Call it a “sabbatimoon” — the Pollocks’ coinage for sabbatical and honeymoon.
Once self-proclaimed “shy Midwestern kids” who say they together discovered their will to be weird, Tristan and Danyelle are now window-shopping places to live.
Their friends, blog readers and social media followers are free to make suggestions, and the globe’s the limit. So far, Vancouver is the top choice of the 100 or so people giving suggestions, Tristan said.
