JAY Austin had worked in the same mundane office job for seven years when he decided there was more to life than password changes, teleconferences and timesheets.
His partner Lauren Geoghegan felt the same way, so the pair dropped everything in pursuit of a worldwide adventure in July 2017 but it would eventually lead to them being horrifically killed for being unbelievers.
The well-travelled couple, both 29, kept a detailed blog and Instagram posts which revealed an incredible trip reaffirming their faith in humanity and seeing them reach some of the worlds most untouched paradises.
The in-depth online accounts show there were moments of tenderness, euphoric highs and difficulties for the adventurous pair from Washington DC.

u laff but technically they were correct; they only encountered 1 vehicle filled w/ violent killers during all their efforts going out of their way to troll for jihadis
by the numbers, they probly lasted longer than they would have if they were dealing with feral san franciscans (we will have 2 ask vanster 4 calculations b/c the rest of us can't calculus)

I dont buy it. Evil is a make-believe concept weve invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans holding values and beliefs and perspectives different than our ownits easier to dismiss an opinion as abhorrent than strive to understand it. Badness exists, sure, but even thats quite rare. By and large, humans are kind. Self-interested sometimes, myopic sometimes, but kind. Generous and wonderful and kind. No greater revelation has come from our journey than this.

Unfortunately, Austin and Geoghegan discovered first-hand that evil does exist in the world when they traveled through a terrorist hotbed.
The couple chose to bike through the Muslim country of Tajikistan with another group of cyclists. They met a gruesome fate when confronted by five members of ISIS.
On July 29th, a car driven by the ISIS members rammed the bikers. The men exited the van and began stabbing the bikers, killing Austin and Geoghegan, along with the other bikers.
ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack in a video featuring the killers posing with an ISIS flag and pledging allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. According to the New York Times, the men vowed to kill the disbelievers.

Yep, I won't leave the USA. These people deserve a Darwin award for their stupidity.

I'd recommend every American to go outside of the US at least once for more than a 1 week vacation.
Just choose your itinerary carefully.

Concur. I was an exchange student to the UK in high school then lived overseas (military and civilian) for 8+ years as an adult. It helps give one perspective.

This is going to sound pretty cold but good on them for being killed. Human kind doesn't need their defective genes in the pool.

I think someone who is really really good
at long distance running

proving once and for all
Donald Trump
is wrong
