Island Hopping in the South Pacific – Anyone for Fiji?

Meeting new people… and we have met some of the most amazing people on your journeys around the world. Old, young, rich, poor, black, white and every beautiful shade in between, the world is full of wonderful people, and here are just some that made our trips truly special…
The Best Thing About Travel Is… Trying New Foods
I absolutely love trying new foods, and while I definitely wouldn’t eat anything that was still alive (grubs) or something I believe to be cruel (shark fin soup), I will pretty much try anything on the menu when I visit a foreign land – after all, isn’t that part of the fun! On my travels…
A-Z of Travel – Y is for Your Dream Holiday
If money and time were no objects, where would your dream holiday take you?

Travel Companions of a Different Kind – The Fascinating Creatures we have met on our Journey around the World
One of the things we enjoy most about travel is meeting new friends along the way, and not just the human variety! We have encountered quite a collection of interesting characters from the animal kingdom, and thought we would share our favourite shots this Saturday. These gorgeous creatures make our world even more beautiful, and…
World Geography – Do You Really Know Where you are going on Holiday?
As someone who opted for History over Geography in school, I can identify with those people who do not know where Zanzibar is, what language is spoken in Borneo, and how many miles the Great Wall of China stretches, but what I am surprised to learn, is that a third of all travellers cannot locate…
Thumbs Up for Friday – Fun Photos from a Tour around the World!
After spending almost 5 months, travelling around the world it is fair to say that we managed to pick up quite a few holiday snaps! Around 10,000 to be more precise, and after looking through them just the other day, I realised that we have our ‘thumbs up’ on just about every picture! I know…
Travelling Around the World and Back Again – A List of Places to Revisit
I am one of the lucky ones. I have already been around the world and while I didn’t quite manage it in 80 days like Phileas Fogg, I did manage to spend five months with my beloved hubby visiting beautiful countries, meeting new friends, trying new foods, and sampling plenty of new wines, so all…
