Thanks for dropping by, we’re glad to have you here. We’re fascinated by travel. Travel shows what has come before. Travel opens our eyes. Travel shows you the power of humans to overcome, to move forward, to do better. It’s our favourite thing in the world. This site is a collection of some of our travel experiences. We hope you find Our Passion For Travel somewhat useful, and your travels as a result, somewhat better.
Hi, we’re Jeff and Kristen. Two happily married Australians who pack in as much travel as we can – at home or abroad.
We love finding new destinations and re-exploring old favourites. No matter how much we travel, we’re always short on time to explore everywhere we want to see.
Together, we’ve visited 75 countries, have lived abroad and completed a few stints of long term travel too.
