Hi! We're Alia & Shawn.

Based in BC, Canada

The UK is the destination we just can't get enough of and have re-visited several times throughout our 4 years of full-time travel. We've lived in Edinburgh for around a month, rented a flat in London for 2, and have spent nearly 3 months combined living out of a campervan and roaming all around Scotland and Wales and we're currently just waiting for an excuse to justify another visit.
