We are Charlie and Rosie, also known as CinRtravels, two Brits who aim to travel the world whilst documenting it all. From this, we have taken on a second goal to edit our own itinerary to help fellow dreamers get the most out of their travels.
In the past year, we have travelled to Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia and Indonesia. We even spent some time travelling around our home country of the United Kingdom.
Currently, we are in Australia hoping to complete the full lap and while we are in this region, we plan to visit other areas of Asia also!
