An Irish Couple Travelling Full-Time
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” – Mary Oliver
About Happy Irish Wanderers: The Short Version
Welcome to the Happy Irish Wanderers page. We’re Kevin and Kate, let us tell you how our story of full-time travel began!
Our adventure began in 2016 when we set off from Ireland for 3 months of backpacking Southeast Asia. At the time, we told our friends and family we would be back in 3 months. However, the universe had different plans for us…..
The journey took an unexpected turn after a near-death experience that led us to Australia for recovery. What was supposed to be a three-month trip in Asia ended up turning into seven years of living and exploring in Australia, where we eventually became citizens.
Then in 2022, after hard work, many nights of planning, and lots of saving, we were finally in a position to pursue our dream of traveling full-time, marking the start of a new chapter in our lives.
Life is a funny aul game, isn’t it?
