We are Mr and Mrs W, a married couple from a little seaside town in South Wales, United Kingdom. This blog is about our adventures, travels, explorations, fun, laughs, experiences, and hopefully, not too many arguments. Come along for the ride!

Fly Drive Explore And Now CRUISING
Not only do we Fly Drive and Explore we have recently discovered the joy of cruising. Since May 2023, we have embarked on 10 cruises with a selection of cruise lines including P&O, Cunard, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. These have included 2 transatlantic crossings and we will be shortly setting sail on our third.
Marcus & Mellissa
Mr W doesn’t suffer fools gladly and says it like it is. He is adventurous and has a dry sense of humour. Passions include luxury travel, style, Formula 1 and learning to fly. Always happy when he’s spending money, his favourite destinations include Las Vegas, New York and Tenby.
Funniest travel quote whilst in an alligator-infested swamp, “Watch out for the menacing budgies!“.
Mrs W is outgoing, fun, and extremely passionate about travel—which is at odds with her fear of flying! She adores good food and great service, whether at a Michelin-starred restaurant or a simple rustic cafe. She is always happy when she gets value for money.
Favourite destinations include California, Florida and Amsterdam. Funniest travel quote, “Is Hungary in Budapest?“
We hope our blog will be informative, fun, and full of the stuff you really want to know. The perfect spot to get that must-have photo, and what attractions you shouldn’t miss. Which local dishes you must try and where to find the best happy hours? The travel apps we rate, and what items we wouldn’t travel without. How to book the cheapest DIY holidays and where to get the best package deals. We don’t profess to be experts but we research each destination thoroughly as we don’t want to miss out on every eye-popping, spine-tingling, camera-clicking experience. We will even show you our fridge magnets!
