Long-term travel had always been a dream of ours and, in October 2018, we finally took the plunge. We left our jobs, got rid of most of our processions, put the rest in storage and hopped aboard a one-way flight to Delhi. We spent the next thirteen months traveling but sadly it all came to an end rather abruptly in November last year when I broke my right leg! Long...
There are some shady people in this world who would rather scam others than get a real job. Unfortunately, we tourists are often the targets of these scammers. Travel scams are real, plentiful and very easy to fall for, even for frequent travellers. Falling victim to a scam can ruin your day and can sometimes be so bad that it makes you hate an entire city or country...
Simon and I have been talking about long-term travel for quite a while. We’ve been travelling on and off for years but never for an extended period of time. But two weeks here, three days there is no longer cutting it for us; there are just too many amazing places in the world to visit.

There is nothing wrong with being a tourist, and you can be any type of...

Since then we’ve come across many fellow travel bloggers and we’ve learnt many travel tips and tricks from them. They’ve opened our eyes to places and experiences we’d never have known about otherwise. But...
As a first time visitor to the Hawaiian islands, it’s really hard to choose which islands to head to. When I organised our initial trip to Hawaii I did lots and lots of research but I still found it hard to decide. Each of the islands has its own unique charms and personality. Ideally you’d visit them all, but of course, for most of us, that’s not practical. Which...
Over the years we’ve taken our fair share of long-haul flights. We live in Australia, have family in Europe and love to travel; so there’s no way we can avoid them! In my twenties I used to love them; the further away, the more exciting, right? But of course, as we get older, sitting on an aeroplane for hours on end starts to lose its excitement; we just want to be...
