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.

Leaping, spinning, swinging, flying at Coromandel Zipline Tours
If I had to use just one word to describe Coromandel Zip Line Tours I’d use abandon. The dictionary says it’s a complete lack of inhibition or restraint and that’s...
