At the end of 2013 we realised we’d had enough of London and decided to move to Cardiff.
In early 2014 we realised that we’d had enough of working.
A plan was formed. Sell the house, quit our jobs and go travelling before settling down in Wales. Simple eh?
Of course these things always take longer than you think to sort out but we’re now finally ready to start the adventure. We’re going to be on the road for a year, just us and our backpacks. Travelling light, visiting continents, countries and places we’ve never been before as well as visiting lots of friends and family along the way.
Where are we going?
