"Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming

"Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place." — Paul Coelho HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎇🍾🎆🎉💫✨ » These were our nine most popular images of 2019! 😊 Thanks so much for all your support, likes and comments. It really means a lot to us. We love taking photos on our travels and we really love sharing them with you. » You may have noticed that we haven't been as active on social media this year. 2019 has not been the kindest to us with a family loss and some health issues, which is why we haven't been as active as we usually are. » On the bright side, we have so much to be grateful for. 🙏 We celebrated a decade of travel as August marked 10 years since we first left Ireland for South Korea to teach English! » We also spent 6 months travelling and living in Mexico which was on our bucket list for quite some time, found an absolute gem of a place in Sayulita, which we plan returning to after Brian's surgery! 💎🌴 » As well as all that, we celebrated 13 years together, spent loads of quality time with family and friends and Brian became an uncle for the first time! 👶🐣 We are looking at 2020 more than likely being spent living in one place, Edinburgh, which will be unusual for us! » On the plus side, this will give us more time to focus on our blog and our passion for sharing travel with others as we won't be distracted by, well ... travelling! 😂 » We've had some epic adventures this past decade and we hope that 2020 and the next decade will be amazing! Here's to an awesome New Year and decade!🍾🎆 » Hope you have or had a great New Year's wherever in the world you are! 🍾🎇🎉🌏❤ » #WanderingOn #LiveToTravel » 💫 💫 💫 💫 💫 💫 » #HappyNewYear2020 #newyears #newyearishere #newyears2020 #happynewyear #2020 #newdecade #onwardsandupwards #adventureliesahead #travelphotographer #gratitudeattitude #beforeidie #healthiswealth #grateful🙏 #travelislife #lovetotravel #alwaysgo #getoutside #coupletravel #neverstopexploring #exploreeverything #placesaroundearth #wekeepmoments #meetthemoment #travelmore #adventuretravel #independenttravel #slowtravel

“We can only be said to be alive in those moment

“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures." — Thornton Wilder » As yesterday was Thanksgiving Day in the USA, it's a good time to think about what we are all thankful for. 🦃🙏🇺🇸 » As a holiday we don't have in Ireland it is such a beautiful sentiment. It's so so important to stop and take stock of all the positives in life from time to time as: "Gratitude turns what we have into enough." — Aesop We, like everyone, are guilty of perhaps too often looking forward to the next step, not fully enjoying the moment. » We often have to remind ourselves about all that we have experienced and how thankful we are for the simple 'treasures' in our lives. » We are so grateful to have had the chance to have so many amazingly incredible experiences so far in our lives, as well as being able to travel to totally different places and cultures over the course of the last decade. We are even more grateful still to have our health, each other to experience it all with and amazing family and friends who accept our unconventional lifestyle.🙏💫 » What are you grateful for in your life?

"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The great

"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live." — Norman Cousins » The Día de los Muertos festival in Sayulita was absolutely INCREDIBLE last weekend! The bright colours, the positive energy, the infectious music, the beautiful decorations and the amazing people here made it such a fun weekend! 💀🎉 It was our first time ever celebrating Día de los Muertos and we absolutely LOVED it!! 💀🇲🇽🎉 » The town was buzzing, there was so much colour everywhere and the place was full of life. In Mexico, family and friends gather together to pray for and remember those who have died. However, while back home, we might see this as a sad day, in Mexican culture, death is viewed as a very natural part of the human cycle.💀 Día de los Muertos is not a day of sadness but a day of celebration with loved ones who awake and celebrate with us! It's such a cool take on what is normally so sad and morbid and they know how to celebrate!! 😄🍻 » Hands-down, one of the best festivals we have had the pleasure of being a part of! If you are ever in Mexico and have the opportunity to stick around for Día de los Muertos, don't miss out! In fact, just start planning your trip for next year now - you won't regret it! 👍🇲🇽😃 What a brilliant celebration of life!! 🙌💚❤️ » Tell us about a festival you have experienced that left a lasting impression! » #WanderingOn #LiveToTravel #Mexico #Sayulita #DíaDeLosMuertos » • • • • • • » #travelinspired #coupletravel #independenttravel #inspiringquotes #travellifestyle #travellifelove #adventurers #quotestagram #worldtravel #adventureanywhere #adventureseeker #travelingtheworld #traveladdicted #alwaysgo #globe_travel #mexicomagico #mexicotravel #diadelosmuertos #mexicoescondido #dayofthedead #diadelosmuertosfestival #diadelosmuertosart #mexicanstyle #mexicanfiesta #mexicanculture

“Why should a relationship mean settling down? W

“Why should a relationship mean settling down? Wait for someone who won’t let life escape you, who’ll challenge you and drive you towards your dreams. Someone spontaneous who you can get lost in the world with. A relationship, with the right person, is a release not a restriction.” — Beau Taplin » We just celebrated 13 years together on Tuesday!❣️ » They say time flies when you're having fun! We must be having the BEST time ever because we just don't know where the last 13 years have gone to!💫🌟 » 13 may be unlucky for some but it's been an EPIC adventure for us so far and having each other to share all the moments, big and small, has made it all the more special! » With 10 of our 13 years spent away from home travelling, we can't wait to see where the next 13 years might take us! 🌎❤️ » Here we are hanging out in an Agave field in Western Mexico! 🌵🇲🇽 » #WanderingOn #LiveToTravel #13years #UnluckyForSome #Anniversary #Love #TimeFlies » ❤ 💙 💚 💛 💜 💗 » #HomeIsWhereEverImWithYou #LoveIsAllYouNeed #travelinspired #coupletravel #independenttravel #instaquotes #inspiringquotes #travellifestyle #travellifelove #adventurers #quotestagram #worldtravel #travelingtheworld #traveladdicted #alwaysgo #globe_travel #mexicodesconocido #mexicomagico #mexicotravel #jaliscoesmexico #sansebastiandeloeste #agaveplant #celebratelove

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by d

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” ― Maya Angelou » We absolutely love this quote because it rings so true. One universal thing we have noticed throughout our decade of movement around the world is that we human beings are all the same at our core. » We all simply want to live life, be happy and surrounded by love, regardless of our race, religions, cultures, customs, beliefs and social standing. » Some of the happiest and friendliest people we have encountered were in places where people have so little (by our first world standards), yet despite all of this, they still show kindness, compassion and have a positive attitude towards life. » As #WorldMentalHealthDay2019 was yesterday, this is just a little reminder that life comes with the same struggles for everyone, everywhere on the globe and it's always okay to ask for help.👌 » Happy Friday! What are your plans for the weekend? » 📷 Sunset over Lake Ohrid, North Macedonia 🇲🇰 » #WanderingOn #LiveToTravel #Macedonia #LakeOhrid #Sunset » • • • • • • » #worldmentalhealthday #WMHDay #mentalhealthawarenessweek #mentalhealth #positivementalattitude #travelismytherapy #peoplearepeople #itsokaynottobeokay #itsoknottobeok #fridayinspiration #lifeisyouradventure #alwaysadventure #travelinspired #traveldeep #travelpassion #traveladdict #traveleurope #europe_gallery #roamtheplanet #travelcouple #neverstopexploring #visitmacedonia #balkans #macedoniatravel

"Notice that autumn is more the season of the soul

"Notice that autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature." — Friedrich Nietzsche 🍁🍂 » We absolutely love autumn and the transformation in scenery as the leaves change colour. This time last year we were travelling in the Balkans in Eastern Europe and the autumn colours were incredible. 🍁🍂 We did the spectacular overnight hike from Valbonë to Theth and the dramatic peaks of northern Albania truly live up to their name, the "Accursed Mountains" or Bjeshkët e Namuna in Albanian. » Also known as the Albanian Alps, even though the mountains spread over the borders of Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro, the region is home to some of Albania's most impressive scenery, and easily its finest hiking. » There are deep green valleys, thick forests, icy-grey rock pinnacles and quaint stone villages where old traditions hold strong. It feels as if you're far, far away from 21st century Europe. » We definitely recommend this hike if you love mountain scenery! » What's your favourite season? Spring, summer, autumn or winter?
