About this blog
How to use our blog. To find out where we are now or to read our recent posts, go to the “blog” section in the menu or headings above. To find blogs from previous adventures, go to the part of the world in the headings above and the destinations are on drop downs. To find our beliefs and travel philosophies, and a bit about who we are, go to “Phil & Michaela”.
After years of dreaming and months of planning, we retired at the end of 2019 to fulfil our dream of travelling instead of working, with the aim of just heading wherever we wanted. The dream began on 29th January 2020 as we headed off to South East Asia. Just 7 weeks later, with Covid-19 taking over the world, we had to abandon our trip, escape from Vietnam before they threw us into quarantine, and head back to England.
At the time it seemed unbelievable that the world could be shut down in the very year we were to realise our dreams, so 2020 then became a year of being resourceful and inventive to try and salvage some of our dreams.
We were indeed resourceful, travelling during the pandemic whenever and wherever we were permitted, until mercifully things started to return to normal. Since then the dream has become reality, travelling the world and even resurrecting that interrupted journey through South East Asia.

Hi Jen, so excited!!! So hope we can catch up in the UK if you are over here before we go, if not maybe we can meet up somewhere on our travels xx

Did you plan this before the earthquake? Did you have any change of plans because of it?
You might remember us from our meeting on the Smile Cruise on the Mekong at the beginning of the pandemic. We were only 6 travelers on that cruise as far as I remember. Happy travels to you.

Hi guys, how nice to hear from you – yes of course we remember you, Norwegian folk music and all that…..and dinner in Pakbeng. We’re on a long journey through France, Spain, Morocco, and we’re now in Cyprus heading towards the end of this particular trip. We were already travelling when the earthquake struck but our route didn’t pass through anywhere close to the affected area so we didn’t have to change any plans. Don’t know if you have read our posts previously but earlier this year we finally got to complete that SE Asia journey which was abandoned when COVID struck. It was good to finally complete it!

I didn’t hear back from you,but I nominated you guys for the Travel Challenge. It’s 10 pictures for 10 days with no explanation and nominate other bloggers. You don’t have to do all 10 days, most people are changes the rules as they go. But if you don’t want to participate, it’s fine, I know everyone is busy. Happy New Year! Maggie
Phil & Michaela
Hi Maggie, sorry to not get back to you before now. Anyway, we had previously started the Travel Challenge but it kind of petered out after a few few days. Thank you for nominating us though. Happy New Year to you, lets hope we can all travel again too. 😁

Hi there! This post could not be written any better!
Reading through this post reminds me of my previous room mate!
He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this write-up to him.
Pretty sure he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!

Hola! Magnífico blog. Somos viajeros incansables. También es nuestro sueño llegar a la jubilación como vosotros para tener tiempo…..aún nos faltan bastantes años y lo peor de todo es que van surgiendo problemas en la salud. He descubierto que el blog permite, no solo compartir con otros viajeros y darles ideas de planificación útiles, sino que además volver a leerlo uno mismo es volver a disfrutar de buenos recuerdos muy vivos cuando llegan malos momentos. Hoy estoy muy triste.
Os deseo mucha salud y muchísimos buenos viajes.

Hi!
Popped over here as a result of your recent comment on Amanda’s blog which said, in part:
… looking for that website. I now see that word ‘could’ in your comment, which I hadn’t twigged before. Wishful thinking, I guess!
I see from scrolling down this page that your site appears to have a spam problem. I’d like to offer you a link to a wibblette of mine from earlier this year entitled ‘My technique for coping with spam comments on WordPress.com’. If I do that, though, then there would be two links in my comment here; and as that would increase the risk of it landing in your moderation queue, I’ll just suggest that you take a look at the ‘Tech Tips’ (menu option) of my blog – the post I’m referring to is currently the third from the top. Wow; so many words in this paragraph; maybe I should have just put the link in? 😉
Hope that your travel woes are now improved (although I hear that we could be in for a rough winter, COVID-wise).

O.o I think the comment I just submitted ended up in your spam queue anyway, despite my attempt to avoid that. (Perhaps you’ve already cured your spam problem?)

Dear Hungrytravellers,
When googling about the museum of occupation and freedom fight, I stumbled upon your blog and I saw that you visited the museum. Would it be possible for you to fill in my survey?
Thesis survey: The motivations, emotions, and meanings of visitors to Lithuania’s Museum of Occupation and Freedom Fighters.
Thesis Survey on the motivations, emotions, and meanings of visitors to Vilnius, Lithuania’s Museum of Occupation and Freedom Fighters. The goal of this research is to investigate people’s emotions and reactions, as well as to cope with dark tourism. Going to a dark, memorial sites is a way of triggering emotions and effects. The primary focus is on the perceived feelings BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER the event. Please take your time answering these questions. It will take approximately ten minutes. Thank you for your time and consideration. 😊 YOUTUBE VIDEO OF MUSEUM
