Getting Lost - the blog
Getting Lost started out as a travel blog in 2015. James and I had just rekindled our relationship and we were adventuring like never before with our then 6, 7 and 8 year old daughters. I started documenting it all on a blog called Getting Lost. A few of you followed us and you asked us how we found all these places. So we made a game with directions to get you off the beaten track.
