  • All Down Hill from Here

    Is there anything more attractive than seeing a man swinging from a ceiling bar with one hand, wearing only his underpants? Or anything more impressive than seeing some bloke smash a wooden toilet seat to smithereens with his head?

    No. Absolutely not. I agree.

    In this week's It's a Drama Podcast episode, you will learn what Bri is doing to stay young, celebrate Liz getting herself up off the floor un-aided, and discover the secret to WHY, compared to every other country in the world, the people of Japan manage to put off popping their clogs until far later in life.

    Enjoy!

  • Escaping to Wellington. But at what cost?

    Brian and Liz are knackered. Whacked. They need a weekend away. Escape for a few days.

    The trouble is, accommodation in New Zealand is not cheap...in fact, it's costly. And there's no way they can sleep on their daughter's couch. Not when she lives in a penthouse with drafty windows...

    So what do Liz and Bri do when they want to travel and pay nothing?? They turn to what they love the most: Housesitting!

    The back story of The Travel Bog Diaries...

    It was scary.

    Probably the scariest thing I've ever done.

    And I've done some scary things.

    Doing Scary Things in Life

    Moving to the other side of the world and leaving everything behind (even though Brian, my husband, had never set foot in NZ before and was taking my word that it was nice...)

    Taking my two kids out of mainstream school to teach them from home (even though I am not a teacher and actually don't even know the difference between a real comma and one of those with a dot above it...)

    Taking the money that we made from the sale of our business (fifty grand that was supposed to be for our retirement) and blowing it on a dream year-long trip back-packing trip around the world with our teenagers (even though we knew we would have to come home to no job and no money).

    But even that. Even ALL those things. Nothing was as scary as what I have just done.

    Writing a book

    For the past two and half years, I have been writing my first book.

    And today, I published it. I gave it to the world.

    Tah dah! Ladies and gentlemen, I very proudly present:

    The Travel Bog Diaries

    "THE TRAVEL BOG DIARIES: One Woman's wickedly funny confessions of surviving family travel"

    If you would like a damn good laugh and read about what it REALLY looks like when you go around the world with two groaning teenagers and a husband with an acid reflux problem...then I'd love you to click here and get your mitts on The Travel Bog Diaries.

  • Pack ur bags

    Five years ago, Brian and I left everything behind (including a full-time job with a regular wage) to take our family (two teenage kids), travelling around the world for a year.

    We visited almost thirty countries, including Japan, India, Sri Lanka, America, Vietnam, Thailand, Hong Kong and many countries in Europe. Our budget was 100 NZD (approx $70) a day.

    Because we were visiting places we had never been to before, we made sure to do plenty of research beforehand.

    Sadly, lots (most) of the information we found online turned out to be a load of codswallop. Fearmongering rubbish.

    Today, because Liz is almost ready to release "The TravelBog Diaries: One Woman's wickedly funny confessions of surviving family world travel" (HURRAY!!!), we thought it would be fun to stay on the travel theme and share some of those Un-truths with you. Let you know that not everything you read online about destinations is believable and inspire you to step out and explore these countries yourself!!

So here it is:

    The initial 'looking part' is free. You can oggle all of the beautiful houses around the world that are waiting for YOU to look after them. Take a sneak peek here! (As I say, looking is completely free, so gander to your heart's content).

    You can also check out the in-depth post I wrote about housesitting in Europe if you'd like to know more.
