So, it’s been a while since I’ve written a blog. A lot has happened. We’ve moved, I’ve started a new job and I’ll let Simon announce his news another time. We love living back in Plymouth and I’m really enjoying my new job so all is great. The only missing piece of the puzzle is how are we going to carry on ‘travelling’ with only a few weeks of annual leave every year. So, here’s our plan…

Once a month we are going to ‘travel’ to somewhere in the South West of England that we have never been before or somewhere we haven’t been for a considerable amount of time. We have set some rules for ourselves.

1. Our day trip has to be in Somerset, Devon or Cornwall.
2. Ideally, we will travel no more than 90 minutes to get there.
3. We have to have never been there before or it has to have been a very long time (10ish years) since either of us have been there.
4. We have to act like tourists. I don’t mean baseball camps, bumbags and human body sized maps. I mean, we have to look at the place as if we were a tourist taking lots of pictures and researching as much as we would have anywhere else in the World.
5. In the next 365 days we have to visit at least 12 places.
6. I will write a blog of our day afterwards (not a rule, but a pleasure).

We are completely up for suggestions and, of course, company. Let us know if you want to join us! 

There will definitely be other travelling adventures on the cards within the UK and also aboard. I can announce that already next year we have booked to visit 8 countries in total. Yes!!! Gotta love a cruise and the many opportunities it brings.

Life is great and I don’t feel as though we have to sacrifice the parts of travel we love now we are adulting again. We will still get to see new places, meet new people and experience new cultures and activities.

(Yes! This is how cold I was when we returned to the UK)
