About

Kia ora! We’re Vic and Steve, a couple of Kiwis from the stunning Kāpiti Coast, North Island, Aotearoa New Zealand. This blog is our way of sharing our biggest adventure yet—five months exploring Europe in our big year of travel and change! We don’t sell anything or have an agenda, we’re just here to share our journey with our whānau and friends, with some handy tips and stories we pick up along the way.

If you’re new here, you can check out our old blog to catch up on some of our earlier adventures: http://kiwiroaming.blogspot.com. We do love to travel – the Caribbean, South East Asia, Australia, lots of Europe, the UK and our own beautiful Aotearoa. We also love to travel with whānau and friends who will feature here.

2025 has been our year of change. We sold OptimalBI, quit our day jobs, are expecting our first mokopuna (grandchild) to arrive and are taking this trip. In the last couple of years we’ve lost 6 fabulous colleagues and friends – Mary, Kathryn, Jeremy, Grant, Jeff and Anastasia – all far too young (aged 40-60) and all unexpectedly, so this is our year of carpe diem. That said we have done a fair bit of planning so you can follow our itinerary here. Ngā manaakitanga Vic & Steve.

Welcome to Vic & Steve’s travel blog, you can learn more about us on the About page.
