about us

We’re recently retired and are hoping to travel a lot more both within the UK and the rest of the world.

Jeni's Story

Jeni worked in office admin for 30+ years and has been a frustrated traveller since her teenage years

Ben's Story

Ben was a journalist on a regional newspaper/ website.

Longer Version 🙂

Jeni has always had an interest in travel since her teenage years. She wanted to join a Travel Agency training scheme but it was full so ended up in the office training instead.  From there she did the typical thing of boyfriend, house and job and the travel part of her got squashed into annual leave trips.

Now she has retired and can fully explore her love of travel.

 

Ben worked in Journalism for 30+ years, he loved it when he could just write the story and it would be published. Modern journalism isn’t like that, you have to write the story, take the pictures, do the SEO, take a video, sub-edit yourself and post to the paper and social media. Geoff isn’t into technology so the majority of the writing will be done by him and Jeni will do the techy bits. 

 

We are a married couple from Swindon in the UK who have spent the last 30 years working and travelling and have decided to spend the next few years just travelling.

We have visited some 33 countries so far, from the USA, Caribbean and Europe to Africa, India and South East Asia. We have seen a lot of beautiful places, met a lot of interesting people and have had a lot of tales to tell from our adventures.

We used to return to freezing Heathrow, slump on a train and go straight down the pub for a pint of British beer and a holiday debrief with mates. Now the aim is to blog trips as we go, but we’ll probably still return to the pub.

What we try to get is value for money. Like most people, we try for the best deals we can on flights and cheap to mid-range accommodation in nice settings, offering scope for nice food and things to see.

That’s about it really. There is always something to chat about and photograph when you travel, that’s for sure.

So here we go. The adventure begins here, and we’ll go together.
