Back in January 2021 we made the scary decisions to quit our jobs and take a year off to go travelling. It was the best decision we’ve ever made.

Having lived in Switzerland for a few years and fit-in holidays around our jobs, we were finally brave enough to quit those jobs, leave our lovely apartment and head off travelling. Despite it being the tail-end of COVID, we were lucky enough to be able to spend eight months in South America and three months in Oceania. This blog started as a way to keep friends and family back home updated during that trip. But, I was pretty useless at writing. It took too long for me to write anything useful and we were having too much fun!

Upon returning to Europe and getting back into the swing of a normal life, I regretted having not made more of an effort with this site. So, I’m slowly trying to fill it up bit-by-bit with our adventures old and new. My main purpose for doing so is to be able to have my memories written down and photos displayed. Hence these posts being written more as a journal compared to a normal blog.

Still, if you’ve found this page I hope you’ll be able to use this site for a bit of inspiration for your next trip or to glean some useful information. We look forward to reading any comments you might wish to leave. Constructive criticism on the actual writing of this site will also be appreciated, given that I’m most definitely not a professional writer!
