EL Nido, Palawan

Its Neat’o Palawan has been on the bucket list for some years, we just hadn’t managed time to get there. We were time poor with only ten days inclusive of travel days to make a break for it. The trip was for Locks birthday – I wanted an escape with little travel time, and thankfully […]

The Mauritian Paradise

I last left you in Australia, where our little family was living the van life doing the great Australian lap. While our touring in Izzie had been magical, we were itching for a tropical getaway. The opportunity presented itself after a week in Sydney celebrating the nuptials of Uncle Bush and Aunty Sezzie. Flights were […]

My Tokyo

After 4 long years based in Tokyo, one would hope that I would have a book full of tricks to survive here…?? We live in the heart of Tokyo better known as the Minato-ku district. It’s a great spot to be. We are in close proximity to Tamachi station – Tamachi connects to both Haneda […]

Byron Bay in Izzie

She made it! she was trucked and trained to Brisbane. What better start to our kombi cruise than a few stops in the surfy town of Byron Bay. Dozens of kombis live here – yet lizzie still turned heads and picked up a few friends. Though she isn’t ready for our big trip as she […]

Eating on the go

A big part in travelling is to eat! we love to take the time to try new dishes and local delights, this often leads […]

For The Love of Lemons

  It was time to gain our sea legs and try a new style of adventure – exploring the Mediterranean by sail! What better timing than now – during the peak of Riley’s locomotion, crawling and eager to climb. Baby overboard! We booked a bareboat charter as dad has his skipper’s licence from a few […]

Mother’s Day

As dad puts on his uniform and packs for work, we make an impulse decision to join him. He was heading to Bangkok for a few days and we thought why not follow? After scrambling together our bags, snacks and bottles, we too were packed and ready to race out the door. We make the […]

Riley hits the Cook Islands

There is more to the South Pacific than just Fiji. Okay yes, Fiji is one of the top destination’s for Australians and Kiwis to escape the cold winter months and its reputation won’t fail you, with perfect beaches, great locals and, more importantly, a kids club. However, after travelling to a majority of the islands, […]

Jetpack

I recently read a discussion on the world schoolers Facebook page regarding items travelling families take away with them, and nifty ideas of how to reduce their load. This brings me to Riley’s jetpack, basically our life changing must haves!! We have already lost two bags, accidentally checked in nappies, brought chemist items in airports […]
