We left Perth at the beginning of March 2015 for a 20 months stint around the world. Given the time available we won’t be rushing and will travel by bus, train and boat whenever possible so that we can enjoy the feeling of traveling and gradually arriving.
We are travelling light and will try to follow the sun. Hence we started in Asia, went to Japan at the beginning of their summer, then across to the US and Canada, down to Mexico and South America for the Northern winter and hopefully to Europe in summer 2016.
Our one advance booking was to cross the Pacific on a cargo ship in August 2015. Apart from this very rough schedule, we’ve not made any plans or done much research. Want to stay flexible and be free to plan as we go.
Stay in touch
Nick and Malene

Hooked on your blog now and jealous …
Wishing you both safe travels, wonderful food, amazing adventures and eventually a happy return to Oz… But then again – who knows, hey 😉

In the meantime, be safe and keep us entertained and longing for adventures like yours on this page.

Hey Debal
Thanks for keeping an eye on the blog and thanks for your comment. Never know but august is a little early as we will still be in Japan or on the ship over to the US, but late oct could be a possibility, otherwise London with Kemp.
Take care and all the best

Well well look at the two of you semi retired fashionistas hitting the travel scene. Glad there are no baggy cotton creased trousers, hippy photos or Roussos kaftans showing up…yet. Have a ball. Enjoy it, be safe, wear sunscreen….drink bottled water bla bla bla lots of love francesca
Hi Francesca
