Phillis and Flacks - AKA - Phil Greenwood, 24 and Carly Flack, 21. Both from Plymouth, Devon, England.
This time last year we made the decision to save, to either travel the world or buy a house. Eventually we decided to go for it and travel the world!
It's been a long and hard year - saving with the sacrifices of having to move back home, constantly saying 'we're skint'!, struggling with friendships, staying in, still driving my first car (4 years now!), no buying clothes and no takeaways!! (Although, one good thing is that Phil's lost a stone and I've lost 2 stone in weight!)
A year... full info
