Hello Sunday morning. I’m sitting in bed in my friend Ash’s spare room, surrounded by vintage floral; the sun pouring in and Tom beside me. We have been home for nearly a month and it has completely flown by. A week up at Peregian with my family was well needed. I couldn’t tell you how [...]
I feel like a bad friend. I’ve let my beautiful blog fall to the wayside for some time now while travel and work over at Activebackpacker have consumed me. Travelling through the North West of America. Originally Tom’s passion, I have jumped on board with gusto, not only providing the photos but doing more of [...]
I am writing this as we are on the train from Montreal to Ottawa, going back to our temporary home after a quick getaway for our 5th anniversary. The snow is piled up high outside and we are tired and happy and sitting quietly reading. We had a fun couple of days in Montreal, I [...]
We’ve been in Canada for nearly two weeks now. Two relaxing, inspiring, wonderful weeks full of family, food and SNOW! The day after we got here it started snowing and didn’t stop for 3 full days. We’ve had several snow storms since and it just keeps piling up. As all the Canadians keep telling us, we sure [...]
As I think about the fact that we leave Europe on Wednesday it all starts to get a little bit more real. Every new step that we take makes this a reality. Tom finished work on Friday; we had our farewell party and the apartment is almost all packed up. The party was an amazing [...]
It is just over one week now until we leave Holland. While Tom still has to work my Visa expired several weeks ago so I’m at home trying to wrap up our lives and do all the chores that need to be done. This is the fourth time I’ve packed myself up to move countries [...]
I’m an avid journaller. It’s now coming to the point where we need to pack up all our stuff in the next few weeks and start long term travelling again and the thing that I always find hard is what to do with my journals. I accumulate so many and they are so important to [...]
I’m feeling very grateful of late so I thought it was time to say thanks for all the support that is out there and to all those that have been my support squad – I love you guys!! I’m running a little give-away on my Facebook page to show my gratitude but if you don’t [...]
Have you seen this? This guy gives Americans a bad name. Amsterdam is one of my favourite cities in the world and definitely safe as houses. Very, very pretty houses! We had a great day this week when I went with Alex and Zoe. We wandered the canals, did lots of browsing of vintage, stopped [...]
Things have been very quiet in blog land of late as things have been busy in real life land. We’ve had yet more visitors, been on more adventures (another trip to Paris!) and been living our lovely little lives here in Holland. Tomorrow is my last day of work and then it is another 5 [...]
