Who We Are

We are a couple of elementary school teachers who have been married for 30 years.

We both grew up in Alberta, Canada. In 1996 we realized we both hated winter and

moved to the beautiful city of Victoria, BC.

We are lucky enough to be able to defer our salary, so that every 5th year we are able

to travel for a whole year. We believe in enjoying life, and travel every chance we get.

Our next big year of travel starts in July 2020. We are very excited to be exploring many

new places (think Africa and South America) and revisiting places we love!

Sometimes I refer to Steve as “The Handsome Man” or “The King”. These nicknames are

not because he’s full of himself (really!), but were nicknames given by hilarious little

kindergarteners when he used to teach them gym.

Self-described princesses, we are mid-range travellers. We travel as cheaply as we can,

but with rules.

1) We don’t share a bathroom with strangers (we certainly don’t stay in the hostel where

you use the bathroom bus in Bangkok)

2) We need a clean bed, and we rarely eat off food carts. Sure we’d like to stay in expensive

places… but until we win the lottery that won’t be happening very often!

3) We love to be warm, and tend to follow the sun on our travels (You won’t find any posts

about visiting the North Pole here!)

We started this blog mostly to help preserve the memories. (The older we get the more we forget…)

We also want to keep our family and friends informed so they know we’re safe

(why wouldn’t we be… we don’t do crazy stuff?!?)

Finally, it amuses me to write, if it amuses you to read it, then welcome :).

We are trying out Vlogging these days. If you would like to see our videos you can check out our
