    Blog update

    September 16, 2019 /

    We’ve made some changes to our blog pages. So far our posts and stories have been based around individual trips, but now that we are moving into a new life phase, so the blog needs to evolve.

In one sense, we aren’t backpackers: we don’t do hostels or dormitories and, at our age, we aren’t on a low budget, thankfully. In another sense, we are backpackers.
