MARK THE MAP
Latest Stories, Guides & Itineraries
We’ve recently explored some serious bucket list destinations, including Japan, New Zealand, Argentina, Thailand and more! Now it’s your turn to explore them, too.
About Us
We’re Mark & Sarah – a couple from England who swapped their nine-to-fives for a one way ticket.
Since 2022, we’ve slow-travelled through Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South America, logging every moment along the way.
We’re not luxury travellers. But we do care about eating well, finding the best beaches, and tracking down a great cup of coffee (that last one is mostly for Sarah).
This blog is everything we wish we’d had before we left. Honest guides, real budgets, and the kind of practical advice that only comes from actually being there.
Travel Gear Essentials
Check out the things we never leave behind, hand picked travel gear that we take on every trip. From exploring the streets of Tokyo to trekking through the Andes, these are our ultimate picks.
