The gorgeous photos don't immediately tell the whole story, however. The couple saved for years to afford the trip. Zoe worked two jobs: one as a nanny and the other as a cake artist.

If you could wear your wedding dress again, where would it be?

\"We're not professional travelers, photographers or models,\" Zoe Aust told \"Good Morning America.\" \"We were learning as we went.\"

Her most memorable moment, she said, was when the couple took a helicopter to the base camp of Mount Everest.

\"We knew we wanted to visit Everest but usually you need two weeks to train and get acclimated,\" she said. \"The helicopter was a splurge for us. We had five minutes to see it. I felt so lucky I cried.\"

Another memorable moment was on the last leg of the trip. The couple were in the Seychelles.

\"I thought we should have a 'trash-the-dress' moment,\" she said. \"So we got up early and ran into the Indian Ocean with our wedding clothes on. It felt like we had come full circle.\"

After being worn in 32 countries we decided it was time to retire the wedding dress.... but you know we had to do it big! Hopping into the Indian Ocean off the coast of Africa seemed like the perfect place ?? . Checkout our stories to see how it went down! ???? . And a big thank you to @watters for creating a literally indestructible wedding dress. This thing has been shoved in plastic bags and suitcases, worn in the woods, on sand, in snow, washed off with a garden hose, it’s been rained on, folded up to fit in a purse and somehow this dress is still in perfect condition. Not a single tear or rip. Smells a little funky but hey you win some you lose some ???? . . . . #MarryMeIn Seychelles, Africa ???? . . . #Seychelles #seychellesisland #praslin #africa #travelinstagram #mydestinationguide #backpackersintheworld #speechlessplaces #naturegramy #femmetravel #voyaged #travelandleisure #travelanddestinations #iamtb #dametraveler #mustdotravels #citizenfemme #traveltagged #ootdgals #spainpassion #europe_vacations #topspainphoto #spain_vacations #greenweddingshoes #TLPicks #spain #spaintravel #visitspain #travelblogger

And while the couple are now both world travelers and social media influencers, most of the traveling Zoe Aust had done prior to the couple's whirlwind honeymoon was of the volunteer variety. They've already traveled to Sierra Leone to volunteer post-honeymoon.

\"My sister and brother-in-law had done a similar [long-term] trip, before social media [was a way to document travels]. So I was able to ask them a lot of questions about how to make it happen,\" she said.

The couple, who live in northern New Jersey, spend a lot of time answering questions from strangers about their travels. Zoe said a lot of people ask her about how to quit a job, how to get from one country to the next and how to save money along the way.

\"If we can help someone make their dream of travel come true, we want to do that,\" she said. \"Making dreams come true can be a lot of hard work.\"
