Jan & Lee's Travels

a 38 year old female traveling as a couple from Newcastle upon Tyne

We have both worked in the travel industry for over 10 years and decided to practice what we preached. In the immortial words of John Lennon, 'Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans'. Over the past 10 years, we have visited New York, Bali, Borneo, Penang, Langkawi, KL, Tobago, Vegas, Boston and Kenya. This trip is in memory of my Mam Pat who passed away in October 2005.
