In a bid to escape the nine to five routine and see the world, they scrimped and saved $15,000 (£11,400) each to fund their escapades.
Nicholas, who worked as a lawyer, said: ‘We loved every country, but Egypt for its history, Myanmar for its people and temples, and the Maldives for the amazing beaches top our ranking.’
On their travel highlight, the 28-year-old added: ‘The best thing we saw was the sunrise in Cappadocia, absolutely stunning with the hot air balloons and beautiful landscape.’
