How old is too old to travel?
You know how when you get to a certain age, and you suddenly start ‘playing on it?’
“Ohh… I couldn’t possibly take the bins out – I’m far too old for that.”
Or
“Don’t ask me to hold the dog down while you cut her toenails – I’m getting on a bit. I can’t kneel for long.”
Well, this weeks guest made me feel like a right old fake.
He put me in my place and showed me that you are as old as you feel.
It’s easy for me to bang on about how wonderful New Zealand is – my family and I have been living here for the last ten years and although the country has its pros and cons, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. I adore the place.
Making the move to New Zealand was the best thing we ever did.
(Even if the kiwi slang words still drive me mad after almost a decade).
Still. I probably am a bit biased.
So we thought we’d give you a treat…
Looking for a few tips on how to avoid jet lag? Want the best advice from an international traveller ( a real one who takes her family around the world for a year?).
Need to know how to prevent jet lag and avoid arriving at your destination feeling like a zombie??
Tah-Dah! Look no further, my friend; you just found it.
If you are going on vacation or are off to start a new life in Europe (lucky you!), I have just the ticket for you.
Settle down, fellow traveller. Let’s chat.

This week’s podcast walks you through a budget-friendly and fun weekend with kids in Charleston, SC; one of the most popular and unique travel destinations in the world!
Last year my husband and I took our two kids ( teenagers age 16 and 13) to Charleston, SC for a long weekend.
But.
There was a catch.
As always we were on a budget (nothing new there then ) and I must admit, I was somewhat worried as to whether we’d be able to make our money stretch.
Our budget was $80 per day for the four of us.
Did we do it?
In this week’s podcast, Sonny and Liz talk about the culture of Japan and a few things you need to be aware of before you go.
Life in Japan is very easy to adjust to and the Japanese people are amongst the most generous and welcoming folk in the world.
But.
The Japanese do have one tiny downside…
This week’s podcast is hosted by Liz and Sonny (first one of the year!) and is an up close and personal episode looking a what happened in our lives last year that left us feeling grateful (and being able to discuss the reasons why we are grateful).
I think everyone should take stock (each day if possible) and take a look at what the things they have to be grateful for.
Otherwise, you could turn into a moaning Minnie.
And no one likes those.
Teenagers are always getting a rough time about how privileged and ungrateful they are, so we thought it would be fun to discuss exactly what (if anything) this eighteen-year-old boy (sorry Sonny, young man) and his mother feels grateful for.
Gulp.
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.
