🌍 Hi, we're Lydia & Chris, the Roving Balys!
🌍As an empty nest couple from Newcastle, Australia, we've traveled the world together for 30 years. We started this vlog to share our travel tales and showcase our beautiful region. We met traveling around Europe in 1995 and have since visited 50+ countries. We love discovering new places, meeting people, and trying local cuisines (including gluten-free options).Our journey has evolved from backpacking to family travel, and now back to couple adventures. With the kids doing their own thing, we're ready to dust off our backpacks (now suitcases) and start new adventures. So grab a cup of coffee and come roving with us!
