Congrats on the site, didn't realise until now it was yc.
Out of curiosity (I was considering the same) where else did you travel to?. Being that my principle goals are to do a round the world trip and finish my startup, I figured the best way would be for me to do them both at the same time.
We spent six months travelling, starting in Europe (a proper honeymoon in Corsica, then through France and Spain) and then moving to North Africa: Morocco and Egypt.
We were travelling slowly - almost all overland without flying, and in no hurry to leave somewhere if we liked it. We ended up spending 7 weeks in Morocco because we were enjoying it so much (the original plan was just 2-3 weeks).
We would have kept going, but since the site was taking off we applied for YC from Egypt and ended up having to fly from Cairo to San Francisco for the interview - then back to Johannesburg for a pre-arranged road trip with friends.
Working on a startup while travelling actually worked surprisingly well for us. The two require different parts of your brain - startuping is very creative, while travel is very reactive. We'd go out and explore Marrakech for a few hours, talk about Lanyrd stuff, then head back to the Riad for a few hours to build things. It was actually pretty productive!
Hacking while travelling can be quite limiting though - you're carting around a lot of expensive gear, which makes some destinations / some cheap accommodation less of a good idea. We decided to put off our planned trip to Mali for a while for example.
I'm pretty glad we got out of Egypt before they turned off the internet though!
