About this blog

After years of planning and dreaming about it we're are finally off on our around the world adventure.

Leaving London by train and traveling overland through Europe. Taking the Trans-Siberian to link Russia with Asia, traveling down through South East Asia to Australia and New Zealand, Pacific Islands and finally finishing off in Latin America.

On the trip we will also spend time doing voluntary work in Guatemala.
