We’re a couple in our 30's who met working for the same company in Chelmsford, Essex in the UK. Bronia is a Canadian/British hippychick hailing from Vancouver who loves the outdoors. Dave grew up in Billericay, Essex and loves his sport, music and the odd ale with the requisite "doner kebab". In 2005 we decided we'd had enough of narrow-minded corporate nonsense and became determined to change our current view on the world by travelling to see it. We are taking this trip to enjoy life, open our minds, feed our souls and learn as much as we can. Join us on our journey..... ... full info

Thanks
I feel like I travelled with you both. So sad now it's finished. Many thanks. Portugal looks great, never been there, only Spain.

WOW
I can't believe it's over for you (this time anyway!). Thanks for all the fantastic blogs. You have been to many places/countries we still aspire to get to...Portugal looks amazing. You are well and truly back into the 'real' world now, a month at home. Hope all is well for you and you are both 'assimilating' without too much pain. Please stay in touch and we hope to catch you somewhere in this big beautiful world soon. Cheers Carmel and Andrew

Very interesting
Very strange that your account came up when I was searching for details on Quinta dos Loridos, hoping even to find a map as we are going there next week with a group of friends - (we live not far from Formigal) only last week we enjoyed a lovely evening with Sue and Robert at their home, around the self same table, and this allowed me to imagine how they would have put on a great Christmas for you. It was the first time we had been invited to casal at Formigal and the welcome was indeed very warm. Best wishes to you, I must now read the rest of your tour .... x
