I really do have a passion for travel especially visiting new destinations. I very rarely spend my holidays at home. I'm usually on a plane with husband Mike - suitcases over packed as usual.
We enjoy being active on holiday - walking 800 kms across Spain on the Camino, biking through Latvia and Estonia.

Experiencing travel through the eyes of my daughter, has given me a whole new perspective and thirst for travel. It enables me to slow my pace, look around and just enjoy being in the moment as she interacts with local people.

I’m Peter - A born again travel fanatic who didn't leave New Zealand until the ripe age of 20. For that trip, I went coast to coast in the USA.
