About Us

Hello! For all of you who don't already know us welcome to Ross (AKA Billy) and Sonya's travel blog.

So we have talked about travelling many times, so why now?

In short, due to recent health problems and way too many hospital visits we have decided to get out of the rat race and do what we love the most.... you're guessed it travel. There is nothing like a health scare to make you think long and hard about how short and precious life is. So plans that were buried away at the back of our minds for another day were been catapulted to the forefront.

We hope you will 'check in' with us regularly and follow our online blog.

We welcome any tips, suggestions, dares and or challenges from fellow travellers. If you want to meet up on route please don't hesitate to drop us an email (details on the contact us page), we would love to hear from you.

Happy travels to one and all!

Finally neither of us are developers or web designers or have a degree in English from Oxford and although developing and designing this site has been fun it has been a challenge at times. We plan to keep this and our travel blog updated during our travels but we do not want it to become the 'tail wagging the dog' and so we aim to keep it simple. If you want to stay in contact drop us an email and we will endeavour to keep you updated!

Billy's Objectives

Horse ride in as many countries as possible along the way. A passion that fell to the wayside with life's busy schedule now reborn as a holiday hobby. I aim to add many more countries and different styles to those I have already ridden in, which includes Austria, Australia, Canada, Egypt, Iceland, Mexico, Thailand and the USA
Snorkel in the world's best reefs
Finish the Hard Rock Cafe Nacho challenge as a starter by the 50th cafe!
Survive another Full Moon party
Travel to 25+ countries, only 20 planned at present - D'Oh!
Run a 10k in both the Northern and Southern hemisphere, planning (but not committing!) to run in Thailand and Australia or New Zealand.

Billy's saying of the moment

"Just because you are breathing doesn't mean you are living"

Sonya's Objectives

Snorkel in the world's best reefs
To learn about the local cultures
To meet other like minded people who have a passion for travel
To come home with a lifetime of memories and stories
Try lots of local cuisines along the way and try and not come home the size of a whale
Try and not turn into one big freckle - this will be difficult!!

Sonya's saying of the moment

"If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything"
