  • Hello and Welcome!

    Come on in... here you’ll find bits and bobs about us, The Larmours, our life, where we live, what we do, and most of all, about our biggest shared family passion – our travels. This is a record for us, a place for us to share pictures and ramblings on what we’ve done and where we’ve been, but you’ll find occasional blethering about other things too.

    We met in Hong Kong, and since then have lived and worked all over Asia before settling in China, where our Saffy arrived and then moving to the UAE where Indy joined us. Since we met we’ve travelled – since we married we’ve been on an adventure – since we had kids it hasn’t stopped… ultimately, all our small travels were preparation for the big one – that one day we hoped to take – a gap year, a sabbatical, a break from the daily grind – and starting 2014 we took off on it..... across the world, and then on a road trip that has taken us to three continents so far.....

    Grab a cup of tea and come exploring with us,
    Kirsty, Tommy, Saffy and Indy xxxx

The Great Vera Road trip

Well we’ve set off on another road trip – this time in our “new” 25 year old VW van Vera. We are heading from India where we’ve been living for the past 18 months to wherever we might settle next.  We know some of you want to keep up with out travels and it’s hard with dodgy wifi so Here is a map I’ll try and keep up to date, and of course the best place to see all the action is over on my Instagram – which is usually a few weeks out of date but will give you the general idea of what we’re upto….

Thanks for following along, K, T, S and I xxxx

A letter from Tibet

Not a letter so much as a video of the girls dancing – not quite as epic as the epic rail trip dancing video, but as little record of some of the places we visited on our month trip through Eastern Tibet’s Kham and Amdo provinces – the pictures are still waiting to be edited – but as always you can view a lot over on Instagram 😀

Saffy and Indy – dancing on the roof of the world! from Kirsty Larmour on Vimeo.

I’ll try my best to update with some more photos before too long 😀

A letter on the Overlanding Podcast

Are you planning your next trip? I could talk about travel all day long so I’m sharing this interview I recently did!!!
 
I was contacted by The Overlanding Podcast to chat with them about the time we drove a 60,000km road trip from Abu Dhabi to Ireland and back a couple of years ago?  So many people tell me they’d love to take a year out, so if you’ve ever wondered about taking a big trip with the kids you’ll get to hear all about just how we did it 😀
I’ve not listened yet cos I’m sure I’ll curl up cringing at the sound of my own voice, but if you do listen in please feel free to drop me any questions or feedback you have – and listen to some of their other podcasts because they’re truly inspirational travellers, not just regular people winging it with their kids like us!! 😉

Awesome travels!!

My kids hate car’s journey! I wish it was different and I could take them touring around Australia as I did!
