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.

Freed from the pressures of deadlines, we relish mornings that unfold slowly—a cup of coffee on a quiet balcony, the sunrise painting rooftops in hues of gold, the gentle rhythms of unfamiliar streets guiding our footsteps toward new discoveries. Each day, unbound by routine, offers the chance to connect more deeply with the world around us and with each other, finding joy in spontaneous detours and the simple pleasures that come with a life lived at our own pace.

Our foray into Taipei started with a couple of museums as they’re a great way to learn about the locality, they can be very interesting, and they are a good way to stay out of the heat. First off, we headed to the Taiwan National Museum, with a very low entry fee which we were...

So, we finally made it to Macau. That makes it sound like it was epic to make it to another country in our trip, but it was actually super easy. Getting there was a breeze using the TurboJet ferry, and Wendy has written about this here, Ferry HK to Macau. As per normal we chose...

Conveniently located down the road from our hotel, this UNESCO world heritage site (https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/881/) should have been easy to organise a visit to. However, the complexities of arranging anything independently made obtaining tickets a BIG deal…..how hard can it be I hear you ask… well I’ll tell you… Normally a visit to the internet would...

Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, and the Palace Museum; this was a big walking day and time on our feet. We joined a tour to cover off these places as it can be easier than trying to do it yourself, especially getting through all the security to get into the Square and into the Palace Museum....

After a short 45 min taxi ride from Da Nang we entered Hoi An to a warm welcome at a delightful boutique hotel. The receptionist was super informative and provided a map of Hoi An Old Quarter and additional info like a good optician for new glasses/tailors/activities and what prices were fair for tours etc....
