As Chanel and Stevo make plans to finally set up a base somewhere (more info on this soon!) something they're thinking about is how to make their nest more energy saving (it's not only good for the planet but for the travelling bank account too)....
We've put together some practical ways to keep your travel memories alive, allowing you to relive them through these uncertain times....
You have heard us preach about our “quit it all and sell everything” methodology to get you to travel around the world. I guess you don’t blame us – it is exactly what we did in order to get on the road and travel full time (like we have been doing since March 2015). But what if you’re not ready (or worse, able) to just pack up and go because you’re a homeowner? What if it’s not as easy as just selling the furniture, and packing a bag?

We are HUGE fans of deserts. Desserts too, but I'll save that for another post. Let's talk about the dusty, red, perfect-for-a-minimalist-shot landscape that has left many adventurers gasping for air...
Appropriated from the original post seen on Traveller24.com “Good things come to those who wait.” “The longer you wait, the better it gets.” [INSERT ANY OTHER DEEP WAITING-IS-GOOD QUOTE HERE] We have all heard these words. They’ve been quoted and re-quoted throughout our lives. Our parents, well-respected elders, esteemed banks trying to sell us an investment plan, and, well, anyone on Pinterest who collects inspirational quotes, has undoubtedly tried to convince us that indeed, ‘good things come to those who wait’. But in an age of instant gratification, one-click orders, and speedy pick-up and drop-off services like Uber, it is getting harder and harder to justify waiting for anything. So why, in this era, would we even consider waiting an entire year*, to spend five...
Different from our usual just-the-two-of-us trips, we recently took a Trafalgar tour, for a group-travel experience of a lifetime. 10 days, 1 sensational country made up of 2 contrasting islands, and a collection of 39 strangers who have proven that the best part of travel is the people you meet along the way. The third city on our Contrasts of New Zealand tour was Christchurch. I remember when we arrived in Oslo in mid-2015, just a few months into our journey. I felt somewhat nostalgic, as the “slick architecture with globally-known brands plastered on top” reminded me a lot of home. When our Trafalgar tour stopped in Christchurch for a night (giving us just enough free time to mingle around the South Island’s largest city), I couldn’t help but...
Since departing on our journey over 15 months ago, we have visited 79 cites and towns, in 24 countries throughout Europe, Africa and Australia...
Cape Town holds a very special place in my heart. For some reason (and I think I know the reason now, since my good friend Ollie explained the theory of Earth chakras and vortexes, to us the other day ) I have always felt calm and at peace when in Cape Town. It's bizarre, especially because, of the seven trips I've done to Cape Town, six have been for work, so memories of calmness and tranquility shouldn't be associated with this city, yet somehow there's an energy here that simply leaves me feeling amazing. This city is truly world-class in terms of activities, things to see and do, and of course for photography and videography, so we thought we'd take this...
Our motto and motivation is to “collect experiences, not things”. Whilst on our journey, we’re aiming to spend our time and money on spectacular experiences, to be left with incredible learnings and memories, not tangible objects. This way, we’re sure to keep our lives light without additional luggage, but also be the change we want to see in the world. Our next featured experience is a visit to the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town. As I'm sure you've gathered, we LOVE animals; furry ones, fluffy ones, slippery ones, and ones that can imitate other ones. I think my childhood dream (a long, long time ago) was to become a marine biologist...
Let us begin by saying that we are HUGE fans of Design Indaba (DI). We love what the brand stands for; we love how ambitious and inspired you feel every time (yes, every single time) you leave the conference; and we love the array of speakers that are on offer each year (in fact, it was this talk by Stefan Sagmeister, that we originally saw at the 2014 DI conference, that inspired us to quit it all and travel the world). So yes, we are huge fans of Design Indaba. We've been attending the conference for many years – this was normally a reward from our agencies, meaning that if we did good work, we'd have the opportunity to fly down to beautiful Cape Town for the world's...
