Recently we visited Bali. Although maybe a lot of our readers don’t realize, being on the go is exhausting. We don’t have our own home. We don’t have our own car. We live out of suitcases. We move from place to place. Country to Country. And that is tiring. Especially as an older single Mum […]
If you are looking for the perfect place to enjoy a sunset cocktail or a snack by the pool as you unwind after a hard days shopping or golf in Bali, then the Watermark Hotel and Spa in Bali is the perfect place to stay. This is a new hotel (in the last year), and so […]
Traveling the world (as we do) has some amazing and unusual opportunities. Not only are we able to explore fantastic locations, and stay in beautiful places, we are also able to try new and interesting foods.

Mention ” Bali “, and most Australian families will instantly tell you that a MUST visit is Waterbom Park, and experience The Boomerang.

He loves house-sitting; he adores pets – especially dogs and loves having time to stop and relax. Here is his story …… How house-sitting […]
If you want to be in the picture, here is the place for you need to go. The latest craze to hit is 3D Art in Paradise Bangkok. We originally found out about 3D Art in Paradise Bangkok by ‘Googling’ the ‘top things to do in Bangkok for kids’, and when we saw how fun it […]
Amidst the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, we found some amazing places to visit; great places to shop; awesome tours; a wonderful spa; fabulous hotels; and brilliant shopping. But even with all that, everyone needs time to stop and eat. And not just a quick bite, we decided we wanted to experience some of the […]
Pampering ????? Everyone you speaks to who has ever been to Bangkok will tell you “you must get a ‘proper’ Thai massage, and a bit of ‘personal pampering’ “. But on our last night in Thailand, we decided to go one step further. We wanted to both experience being pampered, and we both wanted to […]
Coming to Africa has been on our hearts for what seems to be forever. I knew a long time friend, who along with her husband ran a small ‘not for profit mission’ In The Field Ministries in Uganda. I had spoken to her on a few occasions about us coming to volunteer. So when our […]
