We are Colin & Dawn, a couple who had a dream to travel, who wondered if one day it might come true.
So we gave up our jobs in August 2013 and here we are… still travelling!
Inspired by other couples, we carefully researched travel tips, packing lists, itineraries & everything we could find.
Armed with just two 40l carry on backpacks, we first set off on a 7 month tour of Central America.
Next came a brief tour of France & Spain, until we got itchy feet & set off for a 6 month tour of Asia in December 2014.
Still feeling the travel bug after our return from Asia, we decided to finish off 2015 with a mammoth tour of Europe. This included: UK, Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France & Spain.
2016 was an opportunity to settle down a bit in Spain, exploring the culture, making new friends & learning a new language.
Early 2017 saw a trip to Budapest & Vienna and we have just completed a 3 month trip to Indonesia.
Whilst we are travelling, we love to volunteer & have been involved in many exciting projects: Assisting & teaching English in Panama, Guatemala, Laos & Vietnam and other charity projects in Panama, Mexico & Spain.
If you’re interested in finding out how we get along, or you are friends wanting to follow our adventure; then hopefully this blog will interest you.
