We’re Donna and Kev, two sixty-something Aussies with more freedom to travel, a growing list of places we want to see and absolutely no intention of slowing down just yet.

​

Not So Grey Travellers originally began as a way to document our adventures - partly because we wanted somewhere to record all those little moments that are so easily forgotten once you move on to the next place. Over time, it has become much more than that.

​

With Kev now retired and me running my own small business, we have the flexibility to travel for longer, take things a little slower and experience places in a way that suits us.

​

We’re not backpackers, although you'll often find us travelling with backpacks. We're probably better described as glampackers - happy to ride a motorbike across an Indonesian island or drive our own tuk-tuk around Sri Lanka, but equally happy to come home to a comfortable bed, our own bathroom and a cold drink at the end of the day.

​

Before every trip, I spend countless hours researching where to go, how to get there, what things cost and all the practical details that can make travelling independently so much easier. This blog is where we share what we've learned, along with what actually happened once we got there - because the reality doesn't always match the research!

​

There are thousands of travel blogs showing the world through the eyes of younger travellers. We wanted to share what travel looks like a little later in life, when the knees might complain occasionally and you appreciate a few more creature comforts, but the curiosity and desire for adventure are still very much there.

​

You'll find itineraries, practical tips, accommodation, transport, costs and plenty of our own experiences - including the things that went wrong, the places that surprised us and those wonderful little moments we never could have planned.

Hopefully our travels will give you some useful information, a little inspiration and perhaps the confidence to plan an adventure of your own.

​

Until the next adventure,

Donna & Kev xx

Still curious. Still exploring. Still Not So Grey.
