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 [...]
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 [...]

It’s been awhile I know. Things are crazy busy around here and unfortunately that means the blog has been left dragging behind a little. Tom and I had an amazing 2 and a half weeks living it up in Italy. We ate, drank, laughed, missed trains, almost missed flights, explored and melted in the heat [...]
Tom and I bought a home-made alcohol kit from my lovely neighbours at the Swan Market. We have fun together. Super Lekker! (and I’m not talking about the alcohol)
There’s some exciting things going on in the life of Trudy over the next few weeks. Tomorrow is my Birthday (attention please) and I believe there will be a nice dinner with my boy tomorrow night. This weekend we are having a party with my Dutch Bestie and the following Thursday I am back to [...]
The perfect Spring day has today consisted of market shopping; a new haircut; delicious lunch; pimping my bike; a beautiful bike ride; adorable animals and lots of sunshine. All this for only 15Euro. It’s feast time tonight! I love eating lunch at home, in my favourite spot of course. I pimped my ride and added [...]
