About Us
Rome, 2009
So by now you’re probably wondering who the heck “that traveling couple” are? Let me introduce us…
I’m Elysia (that’s me on the left) and my fiancé Andrew (the handsome fella on the right) and we both have a not-so-secret addiction… to travel!
Ever since our first trip to the land of the long white cloud – aka New Zealand – in early 2008 we have had the travel bug BIG TIME. Nowadays (2011) we get itchy feet if we haven’t been somewhere for more than 4 weeks or so!
We’re both incredibly fortunate to be able to run our online businesses from any couch, bed, desk, beach, cafe, airport in the world – as long as there’s a kick a** internet connection – something we are grateful for every single day.
Here’s how we got here…
While living on the Gold Coast, Australia with our families we went on a few trips but one day in 2008 that all changed forever! I was sitting at home when Andrew rung me and said “I’m coming over, I’ve got something huge to tell you…” That night we made a decision that has completely changed our lives – we decided we were going to move overseas!
Since then it has been a WHIRLWIND of travel all over the world. We have been traveling non-stop for the past few years and have based ourselves out of Montreal, Toronto, Bucerias, Puerto Vallarta and now… London!
That’s a little bit about how we got here (trust me, that’s the short version!)
Andrew and I decided we wanted to start this blog to share stories about our adventures and in doing that hopefully shed some light on some amazing places you too can visit! Plus we just LOVE everything about travel so this is just pure, unadulterated FUN for us

Hi hi,
I am planning a visit to the Banaue and Batad rice terraces region. What was your experience with the bus ride there? Did you feel if there were any safety concern on crime or kidnapping? and how far are the distances to hike from Banaue to Batad to Bangaan? Thank you
Hi There
Happy to report that we definitely felt safe during the bus ride. It wasn’t the MOST comfortable 8 hours especially as the air con was on full blast all night leaving us surprisingly cold (I’d recommend taking a sweater with you). Also, be sure to pack snacks/drinks as there aren’t many opportunities for stuff along the way.
We didn’t hike between those spots unfortunately but there are lots of transport options when you get there!
Have an amazing time
