We are a post-nomadic FIRE-planning tea-selling British-American couple who travel slowly, eat eagerly and think about tea & horses perhaps too much.

We started travelling in 2014, setting out from London. We spent two years in Madrid, Spain before deciding to travel permanently from 2016 as "digital nomads". We travelled across 30 different countries, primarily in East Asia and Western/Central Europe, including a year in Kerala, India; 6 months in the Gers, France; and 5 months in Penang, Malaysia.

We headed to Portugal in March 2020 and finally settled (read more here) later that year, after 4.5 years location independent. We landed one day before the COVID19 lockdowns in Portugal and the EU began, so this country move was certainly different to what we imagined! We have returned to one of our biggest passions - property, where we buy abandoned places and renovate them ourselves.

​

As of 2023 we've reached 50 countries, and so this blog is a mix of our travel writing and photography, across many of these, with no particular theme although of course, some posts on tea and more and more posts about Portugal, our new home.
