Keefy tinkling the ivories at Den Gamle By, Aarhus
HI FROM ME 👋
We’ve had quite a few new followers recently, so thought I’d do a reintroduce ourselves post!
⭐️ I’m Lydia, my husband is Keith (Keefy) and together we’re known as WANDERLEEFY as we like to wander the world.
⭐️ We’ve been travelling since we got together in 2009, first in a tent grabbing weekends here and there, soon followed by purchasing an old motorhome in a very (unusual for us) spontaneous decision. We had “Daisy” for 3 years and took her to the top of Scotland right down to the Med before upgrading her to Bluebell, a newer Motorhome. After another few years, we downsized to Ruby the Vw, then went for a newer VW model, Gandalf, which is what we have now. When we got married, our honeymoon was spent travelling across USA over 3 weeks by train. Little did we know, this would have a profound impact on our life- we’ve been long hauling our way around the world ever since.
⭐️ We’re both music teachers and musicians by trade, but are getting better at finding our work/life balance and are obsessed with travel in our spare time.
⭐️When we’re not working 12-14 hour days to fund our travel, you’ll find us either in our VW Campervan exploring either the UK or Europe or somewhere around the world with our passport in our hands!
⭐️ We are planners through and through. We not great at spontaneous travel (although it does happen from time to time) and Lydia is often juggling at least 3 different travel planning spreadsheets, 2 notebooks full of lists and a fistful of highlighters, travel magazines and both an online and paper diary.
⭐️ We LOVE walking , cycling, swimming and snorkelling. Keefy is also a massive film buff, and I love reading.
⭐️Our bundle of fluff, Jazz, is our fur baby and loves travelling in our Campervan as much as we do. When we are flying somewhere, he gets to hang out with my mum, or my Dad and step mum, where he gets spoilt rotten!
⭐️ No matter where we are travelli

Roaming Roman Ruins
Left excited about news of the Roman exhibition coming to The British museum next month, we’ve been busy collating some of our Roman Roamings today, in preparation for much more exploring of Roman sites around the world this year! We’ll be booking tickets for the exhibition this week 🤞
Have you got a favourite Roman site?
Travel by tuc tuck in Madurai
There is nothing we love more than getting to experience the locals doing their thing wherever we are in the world. Today on our journey North, our wonderful guide Biju took us for a wander through a very traditional market and showed us so many different fruit and veg varieties that we have never seen before. The sights, sounds and smells will stay with us for ever and absolutely epitomise our sheer LOVE for India. It’s chaos but it’s just irresistible!
