Do you like my Project Runway voice? huh? Do ya, do ya?

If you haven’t noticed, I look quite a bit different than the other guy. Our traveling bear hostel manager/facilitator decided that the initial teddy was losing too much of his “fluff” already. I had to take him outside and explain that his services will no longer be needed. It’s okay, he’ll be put to use back home, but I’ll be taking over his duties from now on. He called me a few choice words, but decided it was best for the mission of traveling the world.

With that said, allow me to introduce myself and my “brutha from anotha mutha.” I, the brown bear, will work as TT#1, and my friend here will work as TT#2 in a second group. We will travel the world on separate missions, but with the same goal; come back with plenty of trinkets from foreign lands and tales to tell. We’re excited.

We even had our First Traveling Teddy Bears Convention. We hope to meet up again this time next year to discuss our travels. Courtesy of a Toys R Us 2 for 1 special, we were all purchased for approx $15. Our bear facilitator was excited about that for some reason. We didn’t pay it any mind though as teddies don’t deal in currency. We deal in fun photo ops and freebies!

More photos and journal entries to come in the next few weeks.

Can’t wait for you to see my backpack and further adventures. Ciao (for now)!
