Newlyweds on an adventure to explore the world above and underwater
Welcome back ladies and gents. My lovely wife has relinquished the writing duties for our latest destination to me, Patrick. So strap in - this blog will be crammed full of spelling mistakes, bad puns, and lots of overly detailed descriptions about everything underwater. Bali, Indonesia: If I had to pick one picture to describe this [...]
G’Day Mates, As you might already know, Patrick and I have made it to the only country in the world that measures its distances in road kill roos, or really the only country with kangaroos both dead and alive - Australia! Coming to Australia, we were really excited to be in an English speaking country [...]
Guest post by Patrick: I try not to collect material things. In a few ways I’ve failed. Sharks teeth, yes. Camera lenses, double yes. But otherwise, I really try not to.

Bonjour! Or as Patrick likes to say: ‘Bonjourno!’ … to French people. You’ve probably noticed that we’ve been a little absent lately - a part of that is the slow internet connection on our second island destination, but the primary cause for our absence is that we have spent the last week almost entirely underwater! [...]
Ia Ora na! So if you’ve been following our Instagram, you know that we have made it to our very first destination, Mo’orea! Mo’orea is a BEAUTIFUL French Polynesian island only a ferry ride away from Tahiti, covered in lush mountainous rainforests and beaches (think Jurassic Park and/or Moana). For the most part, the island [...]
If you’re reading this right now, then you have made it to our blog, and our very first blog post at that! Welcome! We are assuming that 99.999% of our readers will be our friends and family, so we feel comfortable saying thank you. Thank you for showing interest in our 9-month trip around the [...]
