Once upon a time, on our 6th date, sitting in The Vine pub, Wombourne, over a glass of dry white wine & a pint of lager Helen & I began to discuss the idea of going traveling.

Helen has some travel experience to parts of Asia, America & Australasia but has always craved the long trip away. I on the other hand have traveled little further east than Cyprus! Ever since leaving University I’ve focused on my career as a designer & up until more recently I have become quietly passionate about the possibilities photography has to offer. After being introduced to Helen, already working as a freelance photographer, possessing a free spirit & a strong inclination to travel, I realised that perhaps traveling was something we could do together.

A few glasses later & we were pretty certain that heading off for a year or so would be the best thing we could ever do at this moment in our lives.

So… How are we going to do this? Where do we want to go? And how do we get there?
