Author: Nigel and Jane

We are a travel-blogging couple from the UK, both with two daughters and a passion for people and places. Former BBC journalist, Jane is always looking for a great story and is never happier than when she has a notebook and a travel ticket. Since he was a teenager, Nigel's ambition has been to travel to 50 countries by the time he was 50. And he's recently achieved that goal. He is a freelance business coach and management trainer in between trips.
