About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To eat the best Pie and drink the best Mojito the world has to offer.

ABOUT ME

Dee: I'm a relaxed easy going type of guy with a thirst for sport and adventure. I've got loads of get up and go & always willing to go anywhere and do anything. I love playing all sports.
Holly: I'm a lover of life, people, handbags and hunting out new experiences that sometimes go beyond my comfort zone.

We want to meet real locals and not just somebody in the tourism industry trying to rip us off cause we've had a lot of it in the last nine months.
Our best travel experiences have been when we have met local people and did what they did and ate what they ate.

PHILOSOPHY

Take every opportunity.
You gotta have a laugh.
Do something challenging everyday.
Go on, treat yourself, you deserve it!
No pain no gain
