We are Jan and Chris, and after living in Melbourne, Australia, for most of our lives, in 2021 we did a four-month journey along the east coast of Australia to Far North Queensland. We've bought an apartment in Cairns and will use it as a base to continue our travel adventures into the future.

We are both semi-retired and have part-time jobs that are flexible enough to be able to work from wherever we are, as long as there is an internet connection and an airport close by.

We have taken several trips in recent years to Europe, India, USA, South America and South East Asia. We are members of Karma Group, an international vacation club. Our trips are usually planned around stays at one of the beautiful Karma properties or those of its affiliate organisations.

This website is a way for us to let our friends and family know how our trips are going. It's also a way for us to reminisce about the great vacations we have had together and with friends. We hope it might help others planning trips or who may be just interested in finding out about places.

We capture our travel stories using Microsoft Sway. The Sways can be viewed by clicking on the pictures to start the show.

Travel Update

After our plans to travel to Europe had to be abandoned because of the pandemic, we used the time during endless lockdowns to reset and rethink what we will do when travel became a possibility again. The result is an extra long trip that began in July 2022 and continued until the end of July 2023, 13 months in total. We visited the UK and Ireland, many places in Western and Eastern Europe, North Africa, Jordan, and Turkey.


We posted regularly through our Great Adventure and you can read the stories of our travels at the Our Travels page.


The map shows all the places we visited during our Great Adventure through Europe, The United Kingdom, North Africa and The Middle East.


Zoom in to see more detail. If you're interested to know more about a particular place, go to the Our Travels page and find read the Sway that tells you what we did there.
