It’s been quite a year for us.
If you have followed the podcast for a while, you will know that we have suffered two big losses. Both Liz’s mum and dad passed within 6 months of each other.
And before you know it, it’s Christmas time. Which is always the hardest.
Determined to celebrate Christmas in a way that we have never done before, in a country the four of us love, we have decided to leave New Zealand to spend a month-long-once-in-a-lifetime family break in…?
Did you know we now have a SECRET podcast? Behind The Drama is a fabulous member-only podcast where Brian and I take you deeper into the more personal stories about life as a married, entrepreneurial couple.
A couple who juggle travel, family, business, mental health and marriage.
A couple who have two adult kids that still live at home.
But that’s okay.
Because they don’t mind being slaves.
Honest.
If you are of a certain age who dreams of throwing conventional life into the air and swapping it for optimism, yes-ness, adventure, and a ton of much-needed knicker-wetting humour, then this is the podcast for you – It is real, it is honest, it is tough, and it is JUST what you need.
Trust me, you LOVE this! Find out more by going to https://patreon.com/itsadrama
Thank you for listening; you are fabulous, and we love you.

It’s good to be back in New Zealand.
Three things happened to us last week that made us want to fall to our knees and kiss our home soil.
Sit back and allow us to share what they were and why we adore the country of New Zealand so very much.
PS: Please ignore Brian’s face when we talk about the walking man. He’s constipated.
(Brian, not the walking man) ❤️🇳🇿

So this is the BEST Island in Fiji?
BULA!! Today’s episode is brought to you ON LOCATION. We are IN Fiji. Actually there. With the plan trees and everything.
I’ve always wanted to say that. “On location”.
It reminds me of Judith Chalmers when she’d stand by a fishing boat somewhere in the Bahamas wearing a turquoise sarong. Flashing her polished dentures at the camera while we all watched through the telly in England. Drooling. Depressed. Wishing it was sunny and not dark at four o’clock.
If you’d like to watch this podcast on video, you can do that on Spotify.
Enjoy!

Trusting our Teeth to Thailand and paying to be pummelled.
After three weeks in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Liz and Brian are smiling from ear to ear.
Their bones have been pummeled, their teeth nicely drilled, and they have a ton of cash to spend in weird restaurants…
In this week’s show, the couple share all about having their teeth fixed with a dentist in Thailand, the full Thai massage experience, and eating out in weird restaurants.
Enjoy!

I’ll let you into a secret. Seasoned travellers don’t (really) know how to find cheap flights. But what they DO know is how to use the filters & tools to find cheap flights for when they are going on vacation.
I know. It sounds the same, but it’s not.
The tool I want to share is free for everyone. I’ll show you how to use it to get the best deals and the cheapest flights.
I’m all for tips and tricks to save money on travel.
I have wracked up lots of airport hacks in my thirty years of globetrotting, including flying from the US to New Zealand, and finally mastering how to sleep on a flight.
So sit tight and let me share my favourite tool for finding you cheap flights.

We started using TrustedHousesitters when we travelled as a family five years ago. We have stayed in gorgeous houses all over the world, including
house-sitting in New Zealand.
Now, after twenty-seven house sits and a wealth of wonderful travel memories, (we are currently housesitting in Canada for three months!) I thought it was finally time to share an honest review of Trusted House Sitters.
It’d be rude not to.
