About this blog

For years now we, (Shelley aka - The Barnes and Me Simmo) have talked of how we would love to just go traveling around the world for a year. After a couple of years saving all our pennies and living off Asda smart price food, we had a huge decision to make...

Get married or go backpacking for a year!

A year of adventure and mishaps won over a day of watching our friends get pissed on our money... lol

Will we or wont we get married on the way..?

Will Shelley run off with a surf dude called Brad..?

Will Simmo trade shelley in for a Thai bride..?

Who knows? but we'll soon find out so come and join us on our adventure. This is our Blog and we hope you enjoy following our trip for the next year.....

Au revoir!
