Brian and Liz are knackered. Whacked. They need a weekend away. Escape for a few days.
The trouble is, accommodation in New Zealand is not cheap…in fact, it’s costly. And there’s no way they can sleep on their daughter’s couch. Not with those drafty windows…
So what do Liz and Bri do when they want to travel and pay nothing?? They turn to what they love the most: Housesitting!
While to is true that there are pros and cons to housesitting, it is without a doubt how we afford to travel the world.
Sit back, relax and join us on this week’s podcast for conversations on holidaying in Wellington, food, wine, and the ongoing pursuit to make multiple streams of money online.

For two years, six months and six looonng days, I have waited to share the news I have for you on this podcast.
And today, my friend, I am happy and proud to announce that my FIRST-EVER BOOK:
The Travel Bog Diaries is available to buy!! WOO HOO!!!!
Because it would be rude (and very boring) to celebrate alone, me and Bri thought what better way to thank you for supporting Liz than to invite you over to ours for a few drinks and a chat…
So. Get yourself a glass or something nice, pull up a chair and enjoy this very special late-night podcast where we discuss intimately what it REALLY feels like when a thing like this happens in your life…
Enjoy!
You can buy The Travel Bog Diaries Here!

Five years ago, Brian and I left everything behind (including a full-time job with a regular wage) to take our family (two teenage kids), travelling around the world for a year.
We visited almost thirty countries, including Japan, India, Sri Lanka, America, Vietnam, Thailand, Hong Kong and many countries in Europe. Our budget was 100 NZD (approx $70) a day.
Because we were visiting places we had never been to before, we made sure to do plenty of research beforehand.
Sadly, lots (most) of the information we found online turned out to be a load of codswallop. Fearmongering rubbish.
Today, because Liz is almost ready to release “The TravelBog Diaries: One Woman’s wickedly funny confessions of surviving family world travel” (HURRAY!!!), we thought it would be fun to stay on the travel theme and share some of those Un-truths with you. Let you know that not everything you read online about destinations is believable and inspire you to step out and explore these countries yourself!!
Enjoy!

After almost two and a half years, I am almost ready to publish my first book.
That book is called The Travel Bog Diaries. It is made up of hilarious short stories of what it was REALLY like to travel the world with two phone-addicted teenagers and a husband with an acid reflux problem…That book is my baby. Real. Raw. Honest. Funny and tender.
The biggest fear that I had to overcome when going ahead with this book (I self-published) was the book cover. I knew what I wanted, and let’s just say… my final choice was very…real.
I knew when I designed the cover that it was exactly what was needed to introduce this book. It sums up the book perfectly. Perfectly imperfect. Still, I have never felt so vulnerable, terrified or exposed in all of my life.
This behind-the-scenes podcast shares that process and explains why I had to leave myself open and vulnerable in order to remain true to myself and my readers.
Enjoy!
