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 boyfriend Andrew (the handsome fella on the right) and we both have a not-so-secret addiction… to travel!
Yep, that’s right! Ever since our first trip to the land of the long white cloud (aka New Zealand) in early 2008 we’ve had the travel bug BIG TIME!
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!
Andrew and I have made the decision to live in a new country each year while we’re young (and baby free!) although we can’t see us settling down in one place even when the pitter patter of little feet do arrive – in a million years time of course 
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!
A mere 8 months later, on the 29th December, we flew out from Brisbane Airport en route to Montreal, Canada. Yes, you read correctly, snowy Montreal was to be our new home and in the middle of winter no less! We decided to stopover in London to visit my sister, her hubby & our adorable new nephew for a few weeks and were lucky enough to enjoy a few days in Rome & Naples while we were at it!
On 19th January 2009 we touched down in Montreal and our real-life adventure really began! We braved the cold in Montreal from January-April and then relocated to Toronto where we’ve lived till now (October 2009). We’ve been lucky enough to have tons of exciting mini adventures this year (as well as living in two amazing cities) and we’ll be dishing all the fun stories and pictures right here!
Anywaaaaaay…
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 
We’ve only just started this blog but have TONS of stories to share so we’ll be updating VERY regularly to get you all up to date on our adventures!
Make sure you check back here every few days for a new review, story or travel tip for you!
