Hi Lyn – that’s funny that you’re not into cheap, budget travel when your website is called a hole in my shoe! ;) What kind of travel style do you prefer?

Hi Bailey, nice to hear from you :) That’s great! What’s your business? My partner and I also work, we would love to volunteer but that’s not an option for us. It does, however, make us perfectly suited to house sitting assignments as long as there is good wifi, so it’s all good! Glad to hear business doesn’t get in the way of your travels :)

Thanks, James :) Yes, striking a balance is definitely trial and error. What works best definitely depends on your lifestyle.

That’s very cool! How long did your RTW trip last? I think trying all the combinations is great and usually it just adapts to suit your current lifestyle.

Thanks mum! No wonder I prefer my adventures good and slow – everything that I know about travel I learned from you.

For normal trips it is more likely to skew towards good and fast based on practical restrictions :)

Ahhh I know right. Couchsurfing is great, though we’ve found it works much better in certain countries – Poland was our best experience with it so far! – and it hasn’t been popular our here in Costa Rica. Where’s your next trip going to be to, Hannah? =)
