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.

Countryside strolls and food comas – yes, we’re back in England
July 24, 2017
It feels like no time at all and yet a lifetime since we were both here in England. Really it was only a few weeks ago, but so much has happened since then. This is the last leg of our epic European trip (for this year) and we’ve got plenty to tell you since we

Next stop: Rotterdam – design, innovation and food
July 17, 2017
With Italy, Sweden and Belgium behind us, Mrs Romance and I are excited about the good times ahead in our next stop: the Netherlands. This week we’re heading to Rotterdam to meet up with our lovely friends Sara-May and Pat, who moved here from Sydney a few years ago. We can’t wait to see how

Our adventures in Puglia begin: Bari, Monopoli and Polignano
June 26, 2017
So much has happened this last week it feels more like it’s been a month. Since reuniting in Italy’s beautiful southeastern region of Puglia, Mrs Romance and I have done a lot of exploring on foot. In fact if our iPhones’ pedometers are to be trusted in any way, we’ve clocked up over 80km in

A food festival, a boat trip and a peep into Italy
June 19, 2017
It feels like we just arrived on our trip here to Europe, but already it’s been close to a month since we left Sydney’s wintering shores.
