Meet the Wests
Adventure lovers obsessed with sharing ways to do it more for less!
Hannah
Hannah's thing is finding cool places to visit then figuring out the most affordable way to do it. Be it a bit of luxury or budget holidays, she’s a firm believer there’s always a way to make it more affordable and she loves proving that right.
She's also a big believer that motherhood can look however you want it to. Having kids doesn't mean adventures stop, if anything, they get even better. Her goal is to inspire other women and families to follow their dreams and passions too, whatever that looks like.
When it comes to obsessions, affordable holidays aren't Hannah's only one. She's mad about the mountains and skiing. She even ran her own ski chalet business for 4 years at just 19 years old and she'd happily be back in the alps full-time if the rest of us would agree to it.
When she's not travelling, you'll probably find her lifting weights in the gym or running, she's really into that too!
Favourite country? Does saying 'the alps' count :)
Simon
Simon's travelled and worked across the globe, from France to Oz and New Zealand, with a stint in the US and a few years in Canada. Along the way, he’s built up a knack for sniffing out the best deals, finding creative ways to stretch a travel budget, and sharing those insider tips with anyone keen to make their adventures go further.
Food and photography are Simon’s travel passions. He loves discovering new dishes and capturing the sights and sounds of every destination. As an artist and graphic designer, imagery is pretty much his obsession.
He’s often called a bit crazy when on his snowboard, riding through trees or jumping off cliffs when no one’s looking.
Music is another obsession, so his must-pack item is definitely his headphones.
When it comes to favourite places, Simon’s torn between Spain, France, and Italy. Each has amazing food, world-class skiing, and beautiful beaches. Nothing beats a chilled out day on the sand, and he’ll never say no to the occasional spa session.
