About this blog

After years in the same old jobs, bored with life and in need of a change, we decided to give it all up and travel abroad. Friends for 18 years, its time to put it to the test and do something different with our lives. Not quite sure what the year will bring, but with everyone wondering how we will manage for a whole year without hairdryers, handcream and mobile phones, we welcome you to join us on our travels and find out for yourselves........
