Travelling year starting October 2017. The usual stay in Goa, a tour of Rajasthan with John & Suz and then our second grand tour of Australia.

UK highlights – Our Wedding in June followed by honeymoon in Italy. Neil is officially an OAP

People often ask ‘just what do you do’? Here’s a clue. We started travelling in 2008 on a six month trip. It went so well we changed our lifestyle and haven’t stopped exploring. It’s taken us to many countries and we’ve met some wonderful people. We travel slowly to take time to enjoy the small things we find. This year we start in Greece for a few weeks before we go to our usual winter resting place in Goa. Don’t forget our house in Goa has spare rooms! In February we’re off to Australia for 3 months where we’ll meet family and friends and explore. This is our 10th year of living the nomadic lifestyle and we’re still having a ball. Not having a permanent home can occasionally be frustrating but those few days of ‘making do’ are far outweighed by the experiences we have. Follow us and ask yourself ‘are you up to it’?
