About Us

Hello

Welcome and thank you (so much!) for visiting our blog and reading a little about us. We hope this will give you a feel for who we are and what we’re about, but if there’s something specific we haven’t answered that you’re curious about then don’t be shy – ask away, we love quizzes!

 

We are Ian & Hannah

Both in our very early thirties (no need for specifics here).
Former residents of South West (Ian) and South East London (Hannah).

We’re a couple! We met on a dating app – they work guys, “just keep swimming swiping”. It really didn’t take us long to bond over our shared love of travel, wine (so much wine), music and football.

 

Fast forward a few months……

 

With every passing month, another of our close friends would buy a house, become engaged or announce a pregnancy. Fantastic news! But for us? It signalled a ticking clock. We’ve both been lucky enough to travel lots in our previous lives and together have visited Morocco, Scotland, Finland and France. But we yearned for shared experiences that would need more than a two-week holiday.

Enter: South America. It was the last continent left to visit (who’s counting Antarctica?), and it called to us – remember we love wine and football. Once the planning began we realised it would be remiss to skip Central America and so that’s where the adventure would start.

18 months of working, saving and persuading people we weren’t mad and we were on a flight to Mexico City.

Moving away from the fantastic but frenetic London life has enabled to focus on the slow. We believe that slow food, slow travel and all round slow consumption are good for people, our souls and our planet. We try to stay plant based, green and local but that’s not without its challenges on the road.

Ps. We’re a little camera shy, but here are some faces to the names….
