Welcome to our travel blog. We are Tabitha and Nic. In 2011 we 'retired' in our early 40s and set off to travel the world. We spent our first year in South America and have been lucky enough to make two trips to Antarctica.

Our blog is a record of our travels, thoughts and experiences. It is not a guide book, but we do include some tips and information, so we hope that you may find it useful if you are planning to visit somewhere we have been. Or you may just find it interesting as a bit of armchair travel.

Having trouble following or leaving a comment?

Some people have said that they would like to be able to sign up to 'follow' the blog but have not been able to. Also some of you have said you can't post comments. Not being at all familiar with all of this stuff I'm not sure I can help much but I'll tell you what I do know. And perhaps if any of those who are signed up have any other advice then they could post it in a comment?

So I can't see followers if I sign in on an internet explorer browser, but if sign in on google chrome or safari then I can see the followers and the box that allows you to follow. There may be a way of seeing it from Internet explorer but google chrome and safari do work. I know that you can just load the chrome software for free and you don't have to use it as your normal browser - I just use it for the blog.

I have set up the blog so that you have to be signed up to comment in order to avoid getting a load of spam or dubious comments. As far as I can tell you need to set up a google mail account - again free and you don't have to actually use for mail if you don't want to. With that you should be able to leave comments.

Hope that helps but if you know any easier options please do share.

  1. A little late coming to this, but yes, you need an appropriate account in order to comment. An 'ordinary' Google account and a blog profile will suffice; you don't need Google Chrome. Having said that, I'm in the process of updating to a trial version of Google+, which I have set up so that you, Tabitha and Nic, will be added automatically to my Google 'Circles' and your blogs should stream into my Google account. We shall see... Lisa x.
