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.

So tonight we went across the river, the the opposite side to The Bund, to go up the tallest tower in Shanghai. The lift is apparently very fast, although you wouldn’t know that other than the lift info sign, and your ears that feel like you’ve just taken off in an aeroplane. We bought our...
