This blog is in itself a new adventure. In planning our trips, many people have helped us with advice on where to go and where to stay and what to do. Others have asked us for the details of our trips. As a result, we feel that a site as a repository of our experiences and learning might be useful for storing our memories and for sharing with others. We’d love to hear feedback on our blog and how we can get better.
This blog is a new endeavour for us and came about because many people asked us the details of our trips and because others have helped us on our adventures. It seemed like a way to pay forward. Nothing that we include in the blog takes the place of asking for advice from as many sources as you can but we hope that it might help others to appreciate the countries that we visit either vicariously or to encourage them to go on their own adventures.
Travelling on our own has its benefits, such as the flexibility of going and staying when and where we like; it also has its drawbacks, such as anxiety around whether we have booked a nice hotel or not. We really don’t know if it is less or more expensive than tours, although we do take short tours along the way. Generally, we like this DIY model.
We would be delighted with any feedback on how we might improve our site and/or if we have made errors (which is highly likely).
