Nick n Lizzi's Travels

a 31 year old male traveling as a couple

Is it travelling or touring that I'm doing? Travelling implies a destination. I believe what I'm doing is the 21st century update of the grand tour.

Nick n Lizzi has visited 111 places in 26 cities in 12 countries and has written 3 travel blogs with 29 entries.
