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!
