Christina and I are strong believers that romance doesn’t have to rely on big gestures or extravagant gifts. In fact, it shouldn’t.

On this page, you’ll find how we find romance in the everyday with lifestyle stories, handy gift guides and a few things that bring us joy.

Isn’t travel interesting? No matter how long you’re away for – the structure is always the same. Whether it’s a week, a year or – like us now: 7 weeks. You start with being crazily busy, like our first week away this trip where we went to Italy for a wedding and ended up travelling

Which is older – St Albans or London?

Of course, everyone’s heard of London, but not everyone knows St Albans. It’s a beautiful historic town just north of London, and in this Weekly Edition we visit both. So whilst catching up with a host of friends, we get a chance to check out some of the oldest parts of England. And by the

It doesn’t feel like we’ve been back in Sydney all that long (probably because we haven’t!) but it’s time for us to get moving again. We’re heading north again back to Europe. This trip will only be a short 5 or 6 weeks though – nothing like the massive 15 weeks we were here earlier
