If you had to pick just a few, which would you say were the most beautiful places in the world to visit?
This is a question that our family hears a lot when we tell how we spent twelve months travelling the world together (two adults and two teenagers) on a budget.

It’s not a good look, is it? The first week into your perfect vacation and there you are with bright red cheeks and scarlet shoulders that send you into orbit if a piece of clothing brushes them.
Either you can ease yourself into it nice and gently, have no expectations and experience the best three weeks of your life
or
you save up all year, get stressed out of your brain, worry about anything and everything, freak out because the kids aren’t as excited as they should be and then return home two weeks later feeling broke, frazzled and quite frankly, exhausted.
Remember when rain ponchos were the ugliest thing in the world?
Long, plastic, see-through monstrosities that only someone very desperate to keep dry would wear?
