Alright. I promised you a coming home post, so here it is.
Firstly, let me say that just because we are back in New Zealand, it doesn’t mean that it’s the end of this blog. Far from it. Thanks to you lovely people this travel blog has grown enormously, and I am not about to give it up now. Especially as it has recently begun to pay for my family to sleep in hotels and supplements mummys wine habit.
We have been travelling the world as a family for exactly ten months. Living a life of full-time travel.
Within that time we have visited endless countries and slept in beds, sheds, and in vehicles that I wasn’t sure we would come out of alive.
I’m not going to go into the ins and outs of where we’ve been and what we have done, just know that our long-term travel lifestyle has been incredible; I feel as though we have been to the end of the earth on a cloud.

Why do people travel? And why are some families more addicted to traveling than others?
We have been travelling the world with our two teenagers for almost eight months. To us, it was a dream that we had been nurturing since the children were babies.
Not only were we desperate to travel, but we were also adamant that we would share that experience as a family.
And so we set out to make it happen. Sounds too simple?
Let’s say it wasn’t that hard.
*This post was written in 2018. My husband (Brian) and I had left our home in NZ and were travelling the world for a year with our teenage children.
What are the reasons for emigrating from the UK? This isn’t your usual travel blog post. Instead, it’s about me finding the correct response to a question that I have struggled to answer for over nine years.
A question that I am faced with whenever I tell people that almost ten years ago, we emigrated to New Zealand and left our home in the Georgian city of Bath in the UK. (more…)
If you are thinking of travelling, be it around the world or on a two-week holiday, then know that not only will you need to make room in your case for a change of clothes but you’ll also have to accommodate a new set of views.
Travel changes your perspective of the world in the most incredible ways imaginable. (more…)
I’m Liz, and this is my family.
I do Travel. I do Wine. I do being a mum to big kids. Sometimes I do all three at the same time.
I don’t do hormones. Or looking perfect for Instagram. Or dieting.
