Our journey so far...
Our story begins with best friends Aidan and Mac moving to Sydney to join a startup and pursue their dreams. Things didn’t really go to plan and they were left broke (more than once). What follows is a journey of failures, lessons and persistence.

Planning a trip to the UK?
How exciting!
The United Kingdom is a playground for avid explorers, history buffs, beach lovers and tea addicts. You’ll find some of the world’s most interesting history dotted throughout its countries, with ancient ruins, national museums and natural wonders that have bewildered the minds of people for thousands of years.
The UK attracts millions of tourists every year who dream of getting lost in its trendy cities and delightful villages. Not to mention the incredible hospitality that welcomes travellers with open arms. From the charming English folks you’ll meet at the pub to the happy Irish who can’t resist offering you a cup of tea every hour, we know you’ll feel right at home here no matter where you decide to go.
Whether you’re planning to live out your Harry Potter dreams in London, chase waterfalls in Snowdonia National Park, explore abandoned castles in the Scottish countryside, or spend your days dolphin watching on the coast of Wales – the UK has something for everyone.
Our top recommendations for an unforgettable trip include spending a night or two glamping in an airship in Scotland, kayaking your way through the English Lake District, frolicking in magical Fairy Pools at the Isle of Skye, and paragliding off the elusive Pumlumon Fawr.
From Scotch Pies and deep-fried Mars Bars to beef stew and potato soup, the choice of food in the UK is overwhelming in the best way possible. Put on your fancy pants for an afternoon at high tea in London or take it easy with a classic Sunday roast at the pub to see just how the British do so well at comfort food.
