We are two Kiwis always in search of adventure and new experiences, temporarily tied down with our puppies(and a mortgage), but full of ideas and excitement, just waiting for the chance to see more of the world. We travel for fun and adventure, prefering to find those less travelled places, keeping off the beaten path if we can, and out of big cities. That doesn't always work though!
Travel blogging like this is new for us, previously we've just emailed updates, so this blog mainly contains our recent trips. We are currently adding some blogs from previous trips as well, slowly! These are based on the emails we sent(good old cut and paste!), and so some are longer than others, depending on internet availability - a bit like the blogs we have added while travelling I guess. It would be nice to have little pins sticking in all the places we have been to, but we aren't going to add that many old blogs. But imagine pins through South America, Europe, a few states of the US, parts of Canada...
Anyway, thanks for having a look at what we have been up to, and keep watching, who knows where we'll add next!
