Instead of another flying overseas holiday, we have bought ourselves a Jayco Hawk wind-up van and are heading off into our own backyard, taking the kids exploring the outback of Australia for a couple of months. With the spreading coronavirus in the news, now is probably not a bad time to be hitting the road, […]

A Beer in Every Country I Visit
Hopping Around the World Is it too much to ask for a beer in every country I visit? It is not that I drink a lot of beer, but when I am travelling it is one thing that I always make an effort to do, partly to sample something unique about the country I am […]
New Zealand Here We Come
A New Zealand holiday has had a long-time presence on our travel wishlist. Being Australian, we like to travel and have been all over the world, but up until now we have not visited one of the greatest travel destinations right at our doorstep. This is all about to change, a two week trip to […]
2018 Annual Letter
Another wonderful year has passed, 2018 for us has been very exciting and has seen us grow and learn some more … As always our year has been full of travel. Our trips this year have included a two-week adventure to Sri Lanka in April, with an action-packed stopover in Kuala Lumpur! We have not […]
The Kids have a Krazy Day in KL KidZania

It was a surprisingly popular activity, right up there with spotting different coloured tuk-tuks (we found […]
Easy Introduction to Sri Lanka at Galle Fort
Our first destination on our holiday to Sri Lanka was the southwestern city of Galle. The old part of town, Galle Fort, is a world heritage site. We chose to start our Sri Lankan adventure here not only to explore this historic site, but also as it seemed like a quiet, clean and organised town. […]
Sri Lanka Here We Come
A family holiday to Sri Lanka has been on our radar for quite a while, but with our busy travelling schedule over the last year or two, we have not had much time to think about it. After assessing the school holidays of the year ahead, work commitments, and checking the best times to travel, April suited […]
2017 Annual Letter
Another year has raced on past, so quickly, in fact, we couldn’t get this annual year in review out before the end of the year! It’s always a time where we reflect on the year, and to update all our friends, family, and online followers. We would have to say that the best and the […]
