Travel information

Description

We're having our mid-life awakening! Both in our 50s, we've given up our jobs, rented out our home and bought a campervan. We want to have some adventures, see some more of the world, particularly away from tourist areas, and meet people from different cultures and backgrounds.
We're both used to mucking in to make things happen, both "doers", Rich is particularly practical, and like to have a project to work on.
