About this blog

Welcome to "Worldramblings"!

Following our 2001 world trip we've decided to keep on updating this site with our news and views as we travel across the globe.

We are currently (2008) based in London but still travelling plenty. So much so that it is proving difficult to keep both this travelpod and our own website www.worldramblings.com up to date.
