I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the type of traveller I am. Some people are very specific about the travelling they like to do. I’m not so sure I am. Travelling comes in all shapes and sizes. But is there a gold standard traveller? I don’t think so. As long as you’re out there exploring…
If you are considering moving to Dartmouth here’s some handy things to know from a family who relocated to Devon, England, in 2015
A little while ago the lovely Ting from My Travel Monkey tagged me in eight travel photos of happiness. It’s a great meme that gives me the chance to share a small collection of the many happy moments from our adventures. It was hard work choosing just eight photos that bring me joy every time I…
