G'DAY WE'RE PROFESSIONAL TRAVEL BLOGGERS CAZ & CRAIG MAKEPEACE
We've built a life around travel for over 25 years, and are here to help you travel more and create better memories.
Caroline & Craig Makepeace, life-long travelers.
We did not ditch the cubicle to travel the world - we never sat in it in the first place.
Travel was, is, and always will be what we create our life around.
We're here to show you how travel can EVOLVE with you, and prove it's possible even with kids.
We've lived in 5 countries, traveled through over 50 countries, and have done it NO MATTER what our life circumstances (that's over 25 years of experiences).
Recent epic adventures include a 12 month USA road trip in an RV, and an 18-month road trip around Australia.
Our home base is now Raleigh, North Carolina. We've traded the full-time travel for shorter trips through the USA, Europe and further afield. While we still travel with our kids, Craig and I take more solo trips now too!
Allow us to be your travel guides.

GET INSPIRED TO TRAVEL
Just why do we love to travel so much? It's an experience that goes beyond checking things off a list and counting countries.
It's about a deeper connection to ourselves, to others, and to Mother Earth.
When we step outside the boundaries of our comforts we get to know who we truly are and expand our possibilities.

OUR TRAVEL STORY
We recorded a series of podcasts, to share how we've made travel work no matter our lifestyle.
From solo travel before we met, to couples travel and a 5 year honeymoon, a period of darkness where EVERYTHING went wrong (but gave birth to this family travel blog, to family travel around Australia and a USA RV trip and successful travel blogging and getting a green card to living a more settled life (but still loads of travel!)
A lifetime commitment to travel involves many sacrifices (all of them worth it!) Here is an insight into our life, the challenges we've overcome, and how we are qualified to be your expert travel guides!
FOLLOW OUR CURRENT ADVENTURES
Travel has been the focus of our life since 1997 - intentionally.
We don't plan on stopping that. We now have a base in Raleigh, NC - after being granted a Green Card for our extraordinary ability in the art of travel blogging.
We will continue to explore more of the US but also intend on traveling further abroad - Europe, South East Asia and Central and South America.
We can't wait to share more of our favorites as we experience them.

Just me in my happy place.
What a way to see Ocracoke Island in the Southern Outer Banks, North Carolina.
It`s one of my favorite NC Barrier Islands.

Great honor for Caroline at half-time of @thenccourage women`s soccer game yesterday at WakeMed soccer park.
She was recognized as a woman who exemplifies community and makes a positive impact in the Triangle region and was awarded the community hero of the match. It`s part of the Lenovo Community Heroes Appreciation Program. @lenovous
We love giving back to a city that gave so much to us! We feel so lucky to live here.
