In February 2025 we are departing Aotearoa New Zealand on a very exciting adventure. Over the next 12 months, weโ€™ll travel overland and by sea across 11 incredible countries. We are committed to avoiding air travel unless absolutely necessary, and will be using buses, trains, boats, motorbikes, cars, rickshaws, and more.

Our route will take us from the beaches of Sri Lanka, to the mountains of Nepal, through the villages of Pakistan, the bustling cities of China, the rivers of Laos, the parties of Thailand, the volcanoes of Indonesia - and everything in between. 

Join us as we travel across the Asian continent, sharing stories, adventures, and the unforgettable moments we encounter along the way.

Much love to you all from Alice and Josh โค๏ธ

A very sleepy six hours at Changi airport! We got one of our favourite coffees from Arabica, had a budget meeting next to the iconic jewel water feature (and most importantly the air con), and took a nap. 

As always, so impressed at how everything just works so well here always and is so clean and organized. Pretty different to what we can expect in a few hoursโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s a four hour flight from here to Colombo, where we arrive at 11:30 PM local time. We left Queenstown 21 hours ago now so it is certainly feeling like the longest day ever at this point!  

Not long to go nowโ€ฆ speak to you soon from Colombo.

Love,
Alice
