In todays modern age, the internet is indispensable when it comes to travel. We scour websites online to find the cheapest flight, and book it ourselves. We book accommodation online. We read stories and feedback and recommendations when it comes to planning what to do and see at our destination. We plan our route on maps so we know how… Read more →
Here we are… a whole year later. 365 days ago, we jumped on a flight out of Perth, Australia and took off on our adventure of a lifetime – our nomadic existence, travelling from place to place around the continent of Asia. It’s been one epic adventure. In the last year we have visited places we’ve always dreamt of –… Read more →
One of the biggest costs in visiting Japan after flights and accommodation, is transport – travelling around the country. Purchasing a Japan Rail Pass is one way to save money on your travel costs, but the pass itself is quite costly – it will quite possibly be one of your biggest expenses in Japan.

Our month long trip to Turkey in 2014 was our first foray into ‘long term’ solo travel, a trip we planned completely on our own with just our copy of the Lonely Planet. It was also the trip that changed us – our adventures in Turkey opened our eyes up to a world full of history outside the one that… Read more →
Before we arrived in India over two months ago, I wrote about our excitement and reservations about travelling to one of the world’s most populated countries.

Travellers to Indonesia find it difficult to decide where to spend their time – with incredible destinations, sites and activities all over the country. The other factor that makes travelling difficult, is the restrictive visa conditions. Currently, Australians are entitled to a ‘Visa… Read more →
On all the occasions where we’ve travelled, we’ve planned our trip meticulously. We read our Lonely Planet from front to back, read reviews, pre-booked all our accommodation and major activities and tracked it all on a very well kept spreadsheet. Being that we only had a certain amount of time to travel, we wanted to make sure we made the… Read more →
When you make a decision to go full-time travelling, it’s not quite as simple as booking a flight, packing a bag and off you go. We really wish it was, but there’s generally a few little things to sort out before you move on – like the whole job situation. The housing situation. The what on earth do we do… Read more →
A year ago, when we made a joint decision that travelling the world together was what we wanted to do more than anything, we realised that we’d have to make some big changes in our life. There was no ‘having our cake and eating it too’ – keeping our fabulous life, apartment, job and hobbies here in Perth as well… Read more →
