For years, Brian and I have disagreed over what Christmas morning should look like. What traditions we should pass down to our young children. Presents wrapped or unwrapped? Gifts given or hidden? Tree artificial or real? Mummy sloshed or sober?
Decisions, decisions…
In this week’s Christmas special, we let three ghosts out of the bag…Take a skeleton out of the closet and treat you to a third reading of Liz’s book. This is a snippet from Chapter one, where Liz introduces you to her kids and tells you why she threw everything in the air to backpack the world on a shoestring with the family.
Whatever you are doing this holiday season, know that we send you peace, love and happiness and wish nothing but the best for you in 2023.
Enjoy!

Typical. All around the world without so much of a sniff, and then you come home and get Covid. And not only that, you’re not coping with being home as well as you thought you would…
I’d never really given much thought to what is known as the vacation blues. Until now, that is.

We’re back. After six months of complete freedom, swanning around Europe and Asia doing exactly as we please, we are back home to New Zealand. And boy did we land with a bump.
In this weeks show we wanted to share the realities of long term travel. Give you a glimpse into the nitty gritty truths of what returning home to normal life after being on the road for six months looks and feels like.
This show is dedicated to our beautiful girl Pandora. The best cat a family could ever ask for. RIP sweet girl.

This week’s episode is brought to you from Chiang Mai in Thailand. As this will be the last episode that we do while on this six-month trip, we thought that we’d make it an extra special episode for you.
We have decided to do/say/talk about/share a few things that make us both feel rather uncomfortable. Especially me. But. You will love it. We know you will. And that makes the uncomfortableness all ok.
So sit back, enjoy the show and let us wow you with what we are about to share!
PS: Can we just say a HUGE thank you! thank you for being here with us for the past six months, for sharing our highs and lows and for supporting us along the way. You are wonderful. Thank you x
Remember that you can email us at any time. We love it when people reach out. Why not say hi and let us know what you thought of this week’s show? – I’ll wait for you! [email protected]

Bit of a cheeky one this. Bri gets a bit frisky.
It must be all that dental work he’s had done. Or the fear of going to the hospital on Friday…
