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. On the blog are hundreds of our adventures around Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Fiji over the last 10 years and of course, how it all began.

The Mount Hot Saltwater Pools
The Mount Hot Pools feel to me like something that could only possible happen in New Zealand. For starters they sit under an extinct volcano. And the said volcano is...
24 hours in the Bay of Plenty
