Four Idiots take on the Prague Mind Maze
"I want to be at Charles Bridge for sunset tonight so I can take photos." "Yeah, we should have enough time to get there for it" "What do you mean? We have nothing planned other than walking around and making Pivo stops." "I booked something for 4:30pm. It's a...
Drinking Pivo in Prague
The average Czech person drinks 1.5 litres of beer a day (or Pivo as the locals call it). I've heard slightly lower estimates (down to a modest 160 litres per year) but that's what our guide on a free walking tour of Prague told us at least. That was also enough for...
100th Post and Our Worst Travel Moments
We've been blogging about our adventures for 3 years now and this is officially our 100th post! This weekend Matt and I will be going to Traverse 15, a conference for travel bloggers (and the first one we will have been too). This blog has been great for telling our...
Why Exercise is Important
By the end of last year the only exercise we were getting was a light walk to and from the train or tube each day. That was it. We weren't getting any form of regular exercise despite it being a clear and important factor in a happy life based on...

Our Incredible 2014
It's that time again - our annual year in review post! We've had some pretty awesome ones in the last couple years but seeing as we got married in 2014, it was our best so far and definitely going to be a hard one to beat! Given that we were looking forward to our...
Our Kiwi Christmas roadtrip
We had been planning a Kiwi Christmas trip back to NZ since back when we first got engaged. We thought being recently married was a great excuse to get back to NZ and see our family and friends there. The biggest downside to a trip to NZ from the UK (other than the...
Poppies at the Tower of London
Living in London has given us the opportunity to witness the history of the World Wars. We've been to the war cemeteries and Vimy Ridge in France with my cousin which was an amazing experience and in the last few weeks, we've watched Saving Private Ryan, been to the...
