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.

Sharing with strangers

Our two nights in Cordoba(Saturday and Sunday) are in a hostel and we are in dorms. I haven't shared a room with anyone other than Nic, family or good friends since I was at school and now I am in a room with six people from our group who are not far short of strangers. I knew that we would be in dorms occasionally, so it was not unexpected, and I have no issue with any of the people in the room, but it still feels a bit weird.

Of course travelling as a couple, we are lucky in that when we have the two person hotel rooms or tents, we have that to ourselves, whereas those travelling singly are sharing then too. I think for me, that complete lack of any private time or space would be a little much.
