More beaches than you can shake a stick at

There were three things we wanted to have out of a holiday...  sun, sea and sand. Now there are a lot of places in the world with those three things, but close to the UK and with great food took some investigating!

After much thought, we decided on Sardinia - I think the 100s of beaches, it being an Italian island and close to the UK sold it to us. We only had a week, but still wanted to travel a little bit, so narrowed the best beaches down to four areas - the north west, south west, south east and north east. Sardinia is known for its beaches and clear waters making them appear like emeralds.

Chris and Jules

Julia loves beaches and Chris is... well the backpack... we have been together since uni (and are now engaged eeek!). We have always had a plan to see the world together.

Home is the UK, one of the most beautiful and culturally diverse countries in the world, but sometimes you just need to see what else is out there, how other people live and what natural wonders there are.

Chris has done a fair amount of travelling in the past with friends, family and solo including; Asia, Australasia, Europe, Africa, North America and South America. Julia on the other hand is a bit of a newbie having only been to North America, Europe and South Africa. But we have never really travelled together until 2013 when we went to New Zealand for 6 weeks and started this blog.

Ever since we have tried to capture our travelling memories from home and abroad. This is not just for our own record, and allow our family and friends to keep up with us (saves a lot of emails!) but to also pass on our experiences and tips to others who may travel the same or similar routes.

Reading fellow travel bloggers has helped us a lot. They allow you to learn so much more about places than any guide book and so we want to contribute as well.

We hope you enjoy reading about our travels, maybe they will also help you with your own and inspire you to make the jump and quit the 9 - 5.

Happy travels
