It’s been a year since our last map trick so I thought it was time to crack it out again and show you all where we’ve been!! About these ads
Well we did it! We have hit the road again. Where are we you ask? Now we are not normally ones for travelling through over-populated cities and overly touristy regions however, at the moment that is exactly what we are doing! There is a method to our madness.
