Bucket List Travel Adventures
Here's something interesting about me that you might not know!
I've published a travel blog - Roam the Gnome - since 2014, a global travel website full of super dooper fun activities to do with kids all around the world!
Yes, I carried a Gnome (and his entire wardrobe!) around the world.
And yes, it was my full-time job until the planes were grounded in 2020. (Now, it's my side gig).
Here's a list of the bucket list adventures you should NOT miss!
On the Roam the Gnome blog, you'll discover some excellent and very popular souvenir and shopping guides full of real, authentic, handmade and design-inspired gifts from New York, New Zealand, Australia, Italy, France, London/UK, and more.
If you are sick of the 'same old, same old' and love shopping, I've gathered them in one place here. (Fun fact: the most popular post on my site is 'where to find Italian leather bags in Rome')
If you LOVE Japan as much as I do, you'll be delighted to see the glut of information on my favourite country in the world.
