Zigzagging the World

TRAVEL BLOG

Welcome to our travel blog, where we will endeavour to keep family, friends and anyone who may be interested up to date on where we are in the world and what we’ve been up to. Our love of travel has spanned across the 30+ years we’ve been together.

Our plan? Simple (like us) yet profound (not like us….): to traverse the globe in an unhurried easterly direction, guided by our passions and curiosity rather than a rigid timeline. Our route will be zigzagging up and down the globe following the seasons, hence our Blog name.

Join us as we appreciate the freedom of wandering, celebrating the beauty of diverse cultures, and cherishing each moment while our health and enthusiasm allow.

We’re Colin & Liz, a UK couple with a love of travel. After 32 years together where we enjoyed a diverse range of holidays fitted into our lives working in construction and accountancy respectively, we have decided to take early ‘retirement’ in 2023 to travel more extensively around the world.

ABOUT OUR LO11Y

Isn’t she beautiful? Well we think so! She definitely turns heads wherever we go!

Hopefully she is going to be a trusty steed and home for our travels for the next few years. She is a 2011 4x4 Iveco Daily that we describe as a campervan on steroids which has been fitted out to our requirements.

If you haven’t noticed, her number plate is LO11 YSH hence the name Lolly
