ABOUT LETS GO NICK ....
Let’s Go Nick… has been created by me Nikki, as a way to keep a personal diary of our travels and adventures in the UK and around the world. It also stops us from boring people at social gatherings (when we should be drinking and dancing) wittering on about how we ended up living in a motorhome in the UK during the summer and then flying off to foreign climes in the winter.
We Want To Live Our Dream & Travel The World
In August 2021, we decided to quit our jobs and sell pretty much all our stuff; Nick can’t let go of his tools! Rent out our house and go on an epic adventure. We planned to travel the world! – all while sticking to a tight budget.
Well, let’s say that after six months in Southeast Asia, we realised that –
We are not exactly money-saving types, and budgets are NOT our forte.
Being together 24/7 is something we didn’t think about.
I missed working very strangely (you may want to skip this bit…)! I know, I know, but there is something strange about spending money and not earning any. Nick, on the other hand, is quite happy to float around the world in a blissful daydream.
And we both missed our friends and family. The funnies, nights out, going into Exeter and drinking cocktails on a Saturday, all our everyday stuff…..
So, we’ve made some changes to our travel plans so we can continue exploring new and exciting places around the world and the UK in particular South Devon also known as HOME
We are now coming back to the UK and working the summer, April – October, so we can earn some extra pennies for our travels and then go off backpacking to foreign climes for the winter.
Sounds Ideal…. We’ll see. Only time will tell!
Why Write This Blog?
I want to take you on our journey, the ups n downs. The downs in our experience are more situations like Nick being lost in Tokyo on the way to the airport travelling back to the UK or Nick being robbed by Mexican police whilst on a night out. Then there is us ending up in the middle of Thailand having to teach 40 Thai kids English for two days! Oh, and I mustn’t forget us being stuck on an island in Busuanga Bay, Palawan HUNGRY…. You know that sort of thing!!!
WHAT??? That sort of thing doesn’t happen to everyone. Well…

We’re so excited about our journey to break free from the daily hustle and bustle. It’s all new to us, and we’re learning as we go. It’s also a major lifestyle change, and we didn’t expect it to be easy. But we’re taking it one step at a time. Nick and I are just starting this adventure, and who knows what’s in store?
Perhaps you don’t want to go as far as we did, quitting your job and selling all your possessions, but we hope to inspire you to try something a little different when travelling to foreign places. Our goal is to provide you with practical information that is straightforward and helpful for your own adventures.
