Our Round the world Trip.... Pt 1 Australia
In and around Australia
We set off for an 8 month adventure, leaving from snowy rainy Britain in a frosty February. Hitting Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii and Boston for a whistle stop tour, circumnavigating the globe by whatever means we can (mostly planes and buses, but sometimes Boats and Helicopters)
We'll be in touch. But like I said before, Stay Classy and stay safe.
