Meet the couple behind the wheel

Photo of the couple behind Mate we're lost taken on a nice day with clear blue sky
Last days of summer spent on the roads of Essex.

We are an Anglo Croatian married couple living in UK. As most people nowadays, we too suffer from wanderlust. We are not professional travellers; we plan our trips around our jobs and other obstacles life throws at us.

Not another travelling blog! we hear you say. What makes this blog different? We are so glad you asked! There are road trips, short city breaks, longer haul trips, beach stuff, you name it!

And there are also these other cool things like:

All of our trips are paid by us which means they are budget friendly and not sponsored by anyone. There are a few exceptions, a few work trips I took while working in the travel industry. If this is the case, it is mentioned in the post.

We will tell you all about the trip as it happened, all the good things and bad things, all the ups and downs.

There are no restaurants or hotels mentioned. If we mention a shop or something similar, it means we really think it is a good place to visit/good value for money.

In travel be as unofficial as possible. Evidence of the dangers of official travel is everywhere. Nothing in the world is more misleading than the sponsored visit, the press junket, the press pool, the pool feed, the fact-finding mission, self-importance, and greed that impel the official visitor to accept the auspices and lap up the lies. The whole point of the red carpet is to dazzle the visitor and obscure the truth.

I write all the posts and take 90% of the photos so if you see a lot of “I’s” in the posts, that’s probably why 😀 The husband is a pretty face and sometimes a reluctant photographer.

We hope you enjoy the blog. If you are travelling anywhere we went and have some question, feel free to contact us. Same goes if you have any feedback.
