This is the post that has to be written, how we get to travel full time with kids. We’re not unique, there are plenty of other globe trotting families on the world circuit, but to the vast majority of people what we do sounds far from possible. But we do it, and we’ve been doing […]
15 Top World Landmarks You Shouldn’t Miss
I’ve just checked out Trip Advisor’s Top 25 Landmarks in the World, as voted for by readers. I’ve only been to 8 of them. I’m sure it was a fair vote, but come on, seriously? The Canberra War Memorial? I’ve been, it’s very good, I’m not knocking it, but how did it get on that […]
New York Winter on a Tropical RTW
We left home with a vague plan to backpack our way around Asia for as many years as possible, with two kids and a tight budget. Well, plans change, life happens and the universe sometimes points you in directions you never anticipated. We never expected to take a cruise, ever, let alone a bargain trans […]
What Did it Cost to Travel the World for a Year?

Where to go on a RTW. Russia. Part 1.
We took a 12 month RTW ( Round The World Trip) in 2000. A long time ago, I know, but that year was life changing, gave us great memories and was a bonding experience for my ridiculously-younger-than-me-husband and I. ( Read why in 12 Reasons to Take a Round the World Trip). This is part one, […]
Where are we going to go?
Well, who knows? We’d like to see a few new places and, of course, we have favourite countries from our previous trips that we’d love to share with the children, to explore further, or just revisit. This RTW, With Children, Will Be Different. We’ll have to travel slowly, build in some quieter times to kick […]
12 Reasons To Take A Round The World Trip
12 Reasons to take a round the world trip. Only 12? There are far more, but I’ve tried to condense them into an even dozen. Our primary reason for travelling is education, in learning and in understanding. I’ve always been driven by a thirst for knowledge in the areas that interest me, that is why […]
