Welcome to A Hole in my Shoe, we hope you love it here, a place where we inspire, experience and share anything travel related.
We are Lyn and Steve, travel bloggers from Perth, Western Australia who married and began to travel at 50. Our thirst for travel began on our honeymoon in 2011 when we took our first overseas trip together travelling to South East Asia. Within the next 2 years we travelled to 16 countries and the plan now is on seeing as much of this beautiful world as we can.
A Hole in my Shoe was created as a Facebook page in January 2014 to inspire people who enjoy travel and meeting people to travel to new destinations. In less than a month A Hole in my Shoe reached over 1000 fans. With the creation of our website we hope to continue to reach people far and wide interacting here and other social media platforms.
Lyn is the dreamer, planner and storyteller.
My husband is the perfect travel companion, he balances everything, if I’m stressed he calms me, if I’m sad he cheers me, if I’m lost he finds me! ~ Lyn
Steve is, photographer, technical creator, food lover and carrier of the bags.
I love travelling, doesn’t matter where we go as long as we go! From interacting with the butterfly’s in Thailand to dragging suitcases through Venice. ~ Steve
Together we’re putting our relationship to the test, travelling, adventuring and eating our way through life. Despite living in one of the world’s most isolated cities and working full time, in 6 years we’ve visited 33 countries. 
When we’re not travelling about or working hard to save for our travels we spend our time in Perth checking out the local heritage buildings, restaurants and wineries or doing day trips to surrounding areas. Together we enjoy good coffee, wine and exploring local markets. Both of us enjoy music and try to see most musicals that come to Perth and always try to incorporate something musical in our travels. Our love of colour draws us to Street art and Lyn enjoys spending time photographing street art, out and about in Perth or along our travels.
We love visiting new places, whether locally and abroad. Join us as we explore the markets, gardens and restaurants of the world and share our experiences to inspire you to make your armchair travel a reality.
Everyday we are one step closer to our next big adventure.
Hi Lyn
Havent touched base for a while. Had bit of a break from blogging. Happy Travels!
Deb
An amazing couple!!! We had so much fun being with them. Next place to visit Gibraltar, the Rock of Gibraltar key to the Mediterranean.
I think you guys are amazing! 🙂 Married and started traveling at 50, at that age most people prefer to retire and stay at home and that didn’t stop you from exploring the world together.
This is amazing and inspires me that it’s never too late to make your life a grand adventure! Looking forward to keeping up to date with your adventures. Perth is on our short list too… so I just might be hitting you up to meet for high tea! Happy traveling!
You actually mentioned that well!
Lyn and Steve, what a following in the first month of Facebook! You are obviously an inspiration to others, providing helpful insights for travellers and sharing your passion for those who may be unable to travel at the moment. Great blog – love it!

This is really sweet intro. I love how he FINDS you and that you are drawn to people’s ways in foreign lands as much (probably more:) than to famous monuments:)

Thanks Victoria, not only does he find me when I’m lost, he accepts me for who I am. Our first overseas trip was our honeymoon so I guess we just had to have a sweet intro.
Fun life the two of you have! Soon we will travel Australia!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment Carol. I hope you love Australia as much as we do.
Both of you are a constant reminder that traveling transcends age. Anyone can travel, you just have to find it in you.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment Tanj, you are so right. Travel is the one thing that anyone can do, from babies travelling with family, students on a gap year through to grey nomads enjoying their retirement. We each find a style that works for us.

This is a really interesting blog and I love the fact that you started to travel at 50 and called the bolg A Hole in my Shoe; very apt. Good luck with everything.
