I’m Liz, a lifestyle and travel blogger and this is my family. 2019 Update!  Last year we finally did what we had talked about for sixteen years.

We took our two kids (teenagers) and backpacked around the world with them.

It was wonderful.

We slept on strangers couches, visited places that I’d only ever dreamed of, ate lots of noodles in Japan and argued about how much time the kids were spending on their phones.

We returned home to New Zealand in 2019 and decided that we would do everything in our power to live differently and to show others that whatever your dream you can make it a reality.

We have set out to create a lifestyle that will enable us to become location independent (as much as you can be when you own 5 sheep, a dog and a cat that is apparently going to live forever) so that we can continue to travel to far-reaching places around the world and pay for my son’s wifi.

We want YOU to be part of that journey. This ISN’T  a blog with beautifully filtered Instagram stories,  perfect parents and adorable kids.

No. This is real life. Brats and all.

That means me telling you that although your bits might wobble while you run to catch a train in Sri Lanka, who cares?! You are there! Living your dream!

And anyway, don’t worry…I sell baggy pants in my shop – they hide a multitude of sins.

Go to our start here page to find out more about us and I do hope you will join me on this quest for living outside of the box.
