There are a thousand reasons why. Here’s just 11.

1. Why not? Like, why not? Screw the rules.
2. It’s French and fancy sounding, just like baguette, coq au vin, Couilles de Mouton. Doesn’t it sound delicious?
3. We’ve spent years manoeuvring towards jobs that allow us to travel. We may not want our colleagues on the Zoom to know we’re really on a cruise ship, at a café in Sorrento, or by the pool in Corsica.
4. Our kids think we’re boring and sit in our hotel rooms for the entire holiday. If they really knew how much of their inheritance we spend on holidays there would be outrage. Tears. Yelling. Instead there’s more stars, delicious food, gorgeous wines, tours, experiences, airport lounges, upgrades….
5. If our families in Europe find out we’re within 10,000 miles of them, there’s an expectation we visit. And stay for a few months.
6. If the bottle shops in our area got wind of Mr T travelling, they’d shower him with gifts to try to keep him at home.
7. Like superheroes, we’re mild mannered parents by day but super travellers when were not. We just don’t wear the silly lycra and capes. Instead, comfortable shoes and no-chafe clothing.
8. Being grossly optimistic, when this travel blog becomes super popular, we don’t want to be recognised by paparrazzo, need to wear dark glasses at night or be invited to boring A-lister cocktail parties.
9. Our reviews are original, considered and unapologetically truthful. Whether good or bad. But we don’t necessarily want to receive a knock on our real front door from someone wanting to discuss an unfavourable opinion.
10. We don’t want to be embarrassed if this blog fails to excite you.
11. That’s only 10 reasons but we’re sure you can imagine others.

We also go by the noms/names; Mr T, Mrs M, Mr/Mrs Wanderer, Mr Walkabout and Cat Lady. With guest appearances my Master A1 and Master A2.
