John and Jenny are just two normal people (64 and 56 years old). They share a passion for travel and wildlife. Most travel blogs give numerous ‘tips’ as to how to achieve adventure by the cheapest possible means or how to travel in luxury. Our blog does neither of these. It just allows you to experience our travel and wildlife whilst giving you some ‘pointers’ for ‘best value’.
We are not of an age to want to backpack, youth hostel, canoe, zip-wire etc etc….we did all that in our youth. We enjoy learning about different cultures and seeing fantastic sights …..we don’t want to try living in the different cultures, only gaining an understanding of them, neither do we want to conquer Everest or raft the rapids at Victoria Falls, only delight in seeing them.
Most of our travelling involves using a variety of transport……Johns passion is transport and in particular trains – https://www.flickr.com/people/johnfrombedford/ and a recently published book ‘British Freight Trains’ by John Jackson available at http://www.amazon.co.uk – Jenny’ passion is viewing wildlife – https://www.flickr.com/people/worldwildlife/
So much of 2J’s travels involves adventures on trains and viewing wildlife plus lots of other rather off the beaten track adventures…..all done in what Jenny would like to call ‘normal sophisticated style on a normal budget’ !!!!
