Blogs of Travel

Welcome to our blog! We are two people who love to travel together, spending each of our money (all of it) on plane tickets for our next big adventure in the totally fun country of the Philippines.

At TwoBadTourists you can find peer-to-peer travel tips and follow our our adventures while we travel the world. What makes a bad tourist? Perhaps not buying a single souvenir from your first trip to Istanbul. How about visiting Berlin and not seeing the infamous Berlin Wall. Maybe spending just one day in a historic city like Rome. We may not always get the tourism part down, but often the best aspects of traveling are not what we expect. Check out our BLOG to see what we’re up to and read bad tourist advice!

sharing creative and practical travel experiences

We love to travel, meet new people, explore places, occasionally get lost, use our gift of traveller-sign, pick-up souvenirs, experiment with food, make friends, discover the perks of local transport, and experience new places! Basil (my travel partner & hubby) loves to capture our experiences through images, while I (Cheryl) love to write about them.

A California Couple's (mis)Adventures in Asia

There are all kinds of trips to explore: solo adventures, road trips, girl’s weekends, family reunions, educational & historical learning opportunities, relaxing retreats, too many to list off! And, I believe all of them can happen in the Two Day Travels world.

ABOUT US AND FRIENDS! A Blog about Travel, Food, Work, Friends, and Fun Stuff We do

We're Amy & Nathan. Lovers of beautiful places, exciting culture, and amazing wildlife, we drift from destination to destination, with camera and pen in hand. And right alongside our explorations of the world are our discoveries of one another and ourselves.

After spending the better part of a decade working towards the American Dream we decided to step back and rethink what that really meant to us. Ultimately we decided that taking a no regrets leap out of our comfort zone and into a nomadic backpacking journey across the globe was the right thing for us. Ready. Set. Leap!

I like to think of the travel ‘bug’ as a life-time blessing, for which I have my wonderful parents to thank. Our early travels, both within New Zealand and to places as diverse as Bali, Wales, Italy, and the Cook Islands, have definitely given me an urge to explore that I hope will never leave me.
