welcome
Hi, we’re Jarryd and Nicola, two Aussie primary school teachers with a love for travelling as soon as the school holidays roll around! Our travels are a mix of history, culture, and those little everyday moments that make a place feel so special.
We’re slow travellers at heart, taking our time to really get to know each destination.
Here on our blog, you’ll find inspiration, practical tips, and plenty of honest stories about our experiences - the kind of advice we’d share with friends over coffee. Whether you’re a fellow teacher looking to make the most of school holidays, or simply someone who loves a cultural adventure, we hope you’ll feel right at home here. Thank you for joining us!

From the iconic Jet d'Eau fountain to the historic Old Town, and from international organizations to artisan chocolate shops, Geneva is the perfect place to explore in a short amount of time.
