Who are the Life Unclocked Travellers?

Welcome to our travels which we see as our life no longer attached to a time clock; Life Unclocked.

Our adventures have taken us across continents, through bustling cities and tranquil countryside alike. With each destination, we’ve come to appreciate not just the places we see, but the experiences that linger — the aroma when walking through fresh food markets, the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, or the laughter shared over a steaming bowl of pho in Saigon.

We’re Nick and Wendy, travel lovers who carefully plan our trips. While we used to pack in as much as possible, now, free from jobs and family schedules, we’re looking forward to exploring at a slower pace.

We’re on our countdown to our big trip, that’s what this site is really for, but for the next few nights we’re in Geelong for my graduation which is on Monday 15th September in the afternoon. I completed my course back in July and this was the next graduation I could attend. The last unit...

The Palace Museum was fun to get to as it was quite a way away from where we were staying. We started off by taking the subway from Taipei Main Station once we’d found the right line. (Taipei Main Station was so difficult to navigate I’ve written its own post!!) From there we exited the...
