Practical Travel Guides for Australians, at Home and Overseas

We write the kind of travel advice we always wanted to find: realistic costs, routes that actually work and honest reviews of the places and gear we’ve tried ourselves. Whether you’re after a cheap beach holiday, planning a road trip around Australia or thinking about a long stay in Asia, start here.

Meet Ros & Alan

Hi, we are Australian travel bloggers Ros and Alan! Our home base is Australia, but we have visited 52 countries, lived in Thailand and Vietnam and written for leading travel magazines, spoken at conferences about our lifestyle, and become one of Australia’s most respected travel blogs. We were runners-up in the Travel Blog Awards three years in a row, and our Chiang Mai Travel Planning Facebook group now has more than 11,000 members.

You’ll find destination guides, travel tips and honest attraction, hotel and product reviews, all based on our own trips. Learn more about Ros & Alan and who we help.

We write about destinations across Australia, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, Oceania, South America and the United Kingdom, for every travel style from budget to comfortable.

Planning a trip to Chiang Mai, Vietnam or Queensland? Our Facebook groups are full of travellers swapping tips, asking questions and sharing the latest on-the-ground information, and we’re in there every day answering questions ourselves.

Our Chiang Mai Travel Planning group has more than 11,000 members helping each other get the most out of the city we call our second home. If Vietnam is calling, join Vietnam Travel Made Easy for route planning, visa questions and local advice. And closer to home, our Queensland Travel Planning group covers everything from road trips to reef trips.

All three are free to join and new members are always welcome.
