G'DAY WE'RE PROFESSIONAL TRAVEL BLOGGERS CAZ & CRAIG MAKEPEACE

We've built a life around travel for over 25 years, and are here to help you travel more and create better memories.

Caroline & Craig Makepeace, life-long travelers.

We did not ditch the cubicle to travel the world - we never sat in it in the first place.

Travel was, is, and always will be what we create our life around.

We're here to show you how travel can EVOLVE with you, and prove it's possible even with kids.

We've lived in 5 countries, traveled through over 50 countries, and have done it NO MATTER what our life circumstances (that's over 25 years of experiences).

Recent epic adventures include a 12 month USA road trip in an RV, and an 18-month road trip around Australia.

Our home base is now Raleigh, North Carolina. We've traded the full-time travel for shorter trips through the USA, Europe and further afield. While we still travel with our kids, Craig and I take more solo trips now too! 

Allow us to be your travel guides.

TOP TRAVEL TIPS

Here is where you'll find some of our best travel tips for traveling with kids, saving money for travel, planning your trip, and unbelievable destinations.

GET INSPIRED TO TRAVEL

Just why do we love to travel so much? It's an experience that goes beyond checking things off a list and counting countries.

It's about a deeper connection to ourselves, to others, and to Mother Earth.

When we step outside the boundaries of our comforts we get to know who we truly are and expand our possibilities.

OUR TRAVEL STORY

We recorded a series of podcasts, to share how we've made travel work no matter our lifestyle.

From solo travel before we met, to couples travel and a 5 year honeymoon, a period of darkness where EVERYTHING went wrong (but gave birth to this family travel blog, to family travel around Australia and a USA RV trip and successful travel blogging and getting a green card to living a more settled life (but still loads of travel!)

A lifetime commitment to travel involves many sacrifices (all of them worth it!) Here is an insight into our life, the challenges we've overcome, and how we are qualified to be your expert travel guides!

FOLLOW OUR CURRENT ADVENTURES

Travel has been the focus of our life since 1997 - intentionally.

We don't plan on stopping that. We now have a base in Raleigh, NC - after being granted a Green Card for our extraordinary ability in the art of travel blogging.

We will continue to explore more of the US but also intend on traveling further abroad - Europe, South East Asia and Central and South America.

We can't wait to share more of our favorites as we experience them.

FUN FACT: the Cliffs of Moher are the 2nd most visited place in Ireland (behind the Guinness Storehouse). 

The vertical shale & sandstone cliffs rise over 700 ft above the ocean and run along the coast of County Clare for almost 8 miles.

Formed over 320 million years ago, they are a part of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark, and standing at the top on a clear day provides for spectacular views of the Atlantic.

A must visit on the West of Ireland. There are paved pathways with a safety fence to explore different vantage points (it gets windy here).

Located in between Galway and Dingle. Don't miss nearby Doolin.

Imagine London with blue skies? We have been to London many times, and Caz lived there for 2 years between 1997-99. Blue skies are rare, unfortunately.

We got lucky during our 10 day visit in April 2022. What a difference it makes! We love London. It's one of our favorite cities in the world, and we'd love it even more if it had consistent blue skies.

If you're planning a London trip, we have a ton of tips on our blog, including itinerary guides, tips for getting around, and much more.
