A world travel blog for anybody with a curious interest in ditching the routine and exploring our planet
Thank you for stopping by!
We’re Ian & Nicky – an English couple who are backpacking, road tripping and house sitting across the planet. And this world travel blog is a permanent record of what we see, think and do. We hope it also provides information, entertainment and inspiration for other “mature” travellers, too. So, if you’ve got a few minutes to spare, why not pour yourself a glass of something suitably chilled and take a look around!

Interested in Housesitting?
We like to combine our backpacking and road trips with the creature comforts that come with house and pet sitting. It’s our way of slowing down and living in a destination while we plan our next adventure. And the good news is that it can be done all over the world.
