National Park Village sits around 800m above sea level, and provides the easiest access to both the Tongariro Crossing and the Whakapapa ski fields on Mount Ruapehu. Despite being the ’ski town’ base for most of the hundreds off staff who work on the mountain each year, it actually rarely snows here. Occasionally they receive…Continue Reading “Snowed in!”
We spent almost three weeks in Guatemala, and are by no means experts but we were surprised by many things and wish to share our findings with you! From being a country we didn’t know much about, Guatemala grew to be a favourite of ours. We’ve lost track of the amount of times we’ve said things…Continue Reading “6 things we wish we would’ve known before visiting Guatemala”
Throughout my (Ebba) entire life I’ve been quite lazy. I used to hate when my parents dragged me out to the forest as a child and I had to walk in everyone else tempo. Used to say no when I was asked to join someone for a run, and when I played football I was…Continue Reading “Why hiking is (almost) for everyone”
The two weeks prior to arriving in NZ we spent some time exploring beautiful Sydney and its surroundings. Ebba may be a bit biased (as she lived in Sydney for almost a year at 17), but this area of the world is just stunning. We’re not entirely sure that Aussies fully realize how lucky they are with stunning…Continue Reading “Blue Mountains”
Hi everyone! We have officially (and finally) arrived and settled in New Zealand. We are now back in National Park where we first met five years ago, and man it feels great to be back! On a sunny day, this place is something out of this world. The views are just stunning overlooking three volcanoes….Continue Reading “New Zealand so far”

Staying busy and not having a Monday-Friday, 9-5 sort of lifestyle does mix things up and the weeks and days seem a lot shorter right now compared to “our…Continue Reading “Our first 2 months on the road – the highlights, problems and plans”
Traveling with a restricted diet can be a difficult. Not only do you need to be prepared and plan more, but there is always that extra risk of having more sick days than normal. That said, it is definitely not impossible staying healthy on the road though and in the last 3 years that I…Continue Reading “Traveling on a restricted diet”
One of the trickiest things about travelling is knowing what to pack. The length of your trip, which countries you’re going to, what activities you intend to do all make a huge difference in the choice of things to bring. And you always seems to end up with too much stuff, at the same time…Continue Reading “Essential Kit: Dave’s favourite travel gear”
Imagine narrow cobbled and beautifully colourful streets, a local (and incredibly cheap- 10 pence avocadoes!) fruit and vegetables market, a great view point and maybe best of all: its three majestic surrounding volcanoes. Antigua truly is one spectacular place. This small city is a haven for expats, students and tourists. Everything is westernized and therefore so easy…Continue Reading “Antigua Guatemala”
-“How can you afford to travel so much?” is a question we are often asked. The answer? Well partly, it is our biggest interest. Therefore we save money towards trips rather than buying the latest phones, clothes or doing fancy weekend retreats. Secondly, some of the trips we have done have been work related. Working…Continue Reading “Guide: Ways to work abroad”
