He’s Scott and I’m Alex. We had our first date in our UK hometown in 2018, got engaged in Australia in 2020 and tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2023. We’re now a family of five, living in rural Wiltshire, England.
Our children — Adelaide (4), Marla (8 months), and our little boy Bowie, who was born sleeping in 2023 — are at the heart of everything we do. Travel is our way of staying connected, inspired, and alive.
Why We Travel
We’ve always used our holiday allowance to the max. From short city breaks to long-haul adventures, we make it work around full-time jobs and kids. Travel gives our girls life experiences they’ll carry forever.
Adelaide has already ticked off 25 countries — we’re pretty sure she’s one of the most well-travelled little ones around!
Life in Wiltshire
We may live in the quiet countryside, but our hearts beat for the world. Between Scott’s construction career and my work as an independent travel agent, we squeeze every bit of travel in that we can.
“We only count the countries we’ve visited together — that’s where our memories are.”
The Bucket List Life
Scott’s original bucket list had big dreams — skydiving, the Seven Wonders, getting married. But also: baking a cake, milking a cow, and owning a hot tub. The simple and the wild all count.
How We Book Our Holidays
Usually wine-fuelled, always spontaneous. We research locations, compare costs, and usually let Skyscanner make the final call. The destination often chooses us.
We aim for five new countries each year — some years we manage it, others we don’t. But we’re always planning the next one.
Scott and Alex
