Welcome to #offaroundtheworld
This is our journal of eleven months travelling around the world.
From London, through Africa, India, South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and back home to London via South America. Through it all we saw spectacular wildlife, incredible natural wonders, exotic cultures and fabulous towns and cities.
We hope you enjoy reading the articles and sharing our memories of some of the amazing places we visited.
We arrived to catch a 21:00 flight to Victoria Falls, via Ethiopia. We wouldn’t return to the UK until 1st June the following year.
This is the story of our journey around the world.
