It’s been nearly 11 years since Andrew and I quit our London lives to travel the world and we still can’t stop exploring. Nomadic life is the norm for us now, whether we’re road-tripping in an RV across North America, renting an apartment in Portugal for the winter, backpacking through India or simply pet sitting somewhere new in the UK.While we love our lives of...

Having returned from India, we’re now busy preparing for a three-month road trip through Europe. Starting in France, we’ll be driving our Nissan Qashqai down to Geneva for a holiday with Andrew’s parents, then continuing to Venice before heading west towards our favourite European country: Portugal.Before we leave, there’s a list of road-trip related tasks to complete, including ordering a Crit'Air sticker for France and...

On the 3rd of March 2013, we left the UK on a one-way ticket to New Zealand, clutching brand-new carry-on size backpacks and little else besides a modest savings account and a desire to break free from London life and see the world. We thought we’d be gone for two years but somehow, a decade later, we’ve managed to carve a nomadic life for ourselves....

Hello from the UK! We've just returned from an epic, year-long RV trip around the USA and Canada, which saw us cover over 25,000 miles from coast-to-coast. The whole trip made us appreciate just how huge the region is and while we ticked many national parks, cities and coastlines off our bucket-list, there was plenty more we didn't get to see, including Hawaii. We'd love...

After spending a year travelling the USA and Canada in our RV, Maj, we've developed a love of the great outdoors. There's nothing better than parking - or pitching - up at a national park, in the middle of the desert or forest, without another soul in sight. As we learnt during our trip, having the right gear can make all the difference to your...

If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, then make sure you don't leave South Africa off your travel bucket list. While the country is certainly known for its wildlife safaris, our previous trip to South Africa also featured remarkable hikes along Lion’s Head and a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage site, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. On top of these land-based excursions, South Africa does offer...

Back in the not-so-distant past, when Covid was keeping borders firmly shut and planes grounded, I used to dream of Southeast Asia. I’d try to recall, as vividly as possible, the soupy heat and mosaiced temples; passion-fruit shakes and foot massages; the bath-water beaches and macaque-filled forests. More than that, I longed for the feeling I only get from being in Asia, the endless freedom...

After all the Covid madness, it feels like travel is making a proper comeback in 2022. In March, we finally made it to Asia, spending seven blissful weeks in Thailand and a month in Bali, followed by a spontaneous trip to Australia for our first taste of van life and a Perth housesit. I can’t tell you how good it’s been to have our freedom...

We’re itching to get back to Asia when travel finally returns so, when the Tourism Authority of Thailand asked us to share memories of our time in the Land of Smiles as part of their #ThrowbackThailand campaign, we were happy to oblige. With that in mind, here’s a look back at our experiences volunteering in Thailand and projects we’d love to volunteer with in the...

Merry Christmas from Portugal. Yes, we finally escaped the UK winter, not to Vietnam as we’d planned but back to our former home in the Algarve. This wasn’t where we thought we’d end up but as the year comes to a close, we’re just grateful to be anywhere other than the UK. It’s been a strange year, that’s for sure.However, I know that compared to...
