Adventures with Cloud People – Travel Blog

It is easy to visit a new country, city, town, village and stick to the well worn path of visitors gone. You go scale the famous structure, view the painting, pay your respects to the cathedral. I have found this type of travel ultimately unrewarding. Almost like I should have remained at home in front [...]

It’s been a little while since we were out getting amongst the hostel style of living. In fact, exactly one year since we were both working in one! Time flies. Just did a spot of reminiscing and came across a few photos of times past. Unfortunately a lot of them are “controversial” and so I [...]

The challenges we have faced recently regarding myself gaining a visa to live in the US with Jess seemed to stretch out for an age. Thankfully, the hard part is behind us now and we can start building on our lives together. Yet, as hard as it seemed, the difficulties pale in comparison to those [...]

Things have been a bit barren for us on the blog post front lately to say the least. In truth, it wasn’t high on the priority list over these full-on couple of months for us both. All the recent action will culminate on Friday when we tie the knot! We have been living on opposite [...]

Thanks to Mark at Migrationology for getting us on board the My 7 Links project. The initiative was kicked off by Tripbase with the goal to “unite bloggers (from all sectors) in a joint endeavor to share lessons learned and create a bank of long but not forgotten blog posts that deserve to see the [...]

Its time we gave a word-up on the way the Clouds like to get around whilst they are out and about in the world, living the dream. Transport is an inescapably huge part of any travel adventure. Instead of looking at it as a chore, we have a go at making the best of it. [...]

They showed no ability in picking up the subtle flavours, the hints of fruit, oak and spices. “Give me something cold, wet and brown”, (aka, beer) they would demand. Lately though (actually pretty much since I met Jess), I [...]

Followers of our blog may have noticed that there hasn’t been too much of a blog to follow of late. Do not fret faithful fans, for the mini-break wasn’t intentional, we have just had other things to tend to and maybe a bit of writer’s block as well. To get the ball rolling again, we [...]

We are throwing our hat into the well populated ring on articles describing ways you can be economically efficient on your travels. Hopefully at least some of these techniques will be new or different to what has already been written on this topic (or just better). Disclaimer: We are not always good at following our [...]

It’s a question that every traveller has asked themselves at one time or another. “Where to next?” While our circumstances mean that we probably won’t be doing any major long-term travel adventures just now, we are looking ahead and are in the very infant stages of planning an epic journey. Our research at the moment [...]
