We’re Kerryn and Phil, an over-50s Australian couple travelling brilliantly together.
Our channel inspires couples to travel brilliantly their way, through honest stories, scenic journeys, and practical tips drawn from real adventures across Australia and Europe.
Whether it’s a van trip along Australia’s coast, a cruise at sea, or a wander through Christmas markets in Europe, these are all part of our story. What matters most is travelling together, finding connection, laughter, faith, and finding meaning in every part of the journey.
We are returning to caravanning after 20 years and love sharing the lessons, changes we make to our van, Connie, and the new places we visit.
If that sounds like your kind of travel, consider subscribing and travel brilliantly with us at Sapphire Blue Travel.

Big changes don’t happen all at once — they happen in stages.
We’ve been slowly upgrading our van behind the scenes, learning as we go,
and building a setup that actually works for how we travel. 🚐💙
If you’d like to see where it all began with the first round of upgrades,
This was the start of the journey — and it sets the foundation for what’s coming next.

Where do you find peace when life feels loud?
It is so lovely when we take the time to exhale from the busyness of life, whether it is a cuppa in your favourite chair, a walk somewhere in creation, or spending time in prayer or quiet reflection, we have a nd need to move into places of peace and renewal.
For me, being in creation reminds me that God is bigger than anything I face and that He is with me.

Do you and your partner travel the same way, or totally differently?
Sometimes it may not be about styles but interests.
I would love to hear how you guys travel and how you include both your styles, likes and interests.

What’s one trip that changed you — even in a small way?
When we stayed two nights in Chartres, France, it was a highlight of the trip and one of the first places where the benefit of a two-night minimum really came into play. Chartres was small enough for us to really enjoy exploring we got to sample restaurants. It was just a stop that allowed us to breathe, and at the end of a very busy trip, it rewrote my planning DNA and how we travelled, especially overseas.
This trip is why I am now so passionate about the benefits of two-night stops, and we have proved this city after city since.

Some places stay in your bones. 💭✨
What’s one place that still feels like home to you — even if you don’t live there anymore?
Wagga Wagga has been the place that held my heart, even though we left in December 2006, that inland city still has a big piece of my heart.
We would love to hear about places you have lived that stayed with you.

💙 Hey family,
We’ve been a little quiet lately — not absent, just resting in between the busy.
We took Connie out, found some shade, some stillness, and let our souls breathe for a bit.
There’s something holy about slowing down. About letting God reset your pace when life’s been loud.
If you’ve been carrying a lot lately, consider this your reminder: rest isn’t quitting — it’s wisdom 🤍
Still here. Still moving forward.
Just doing it gently.
What have you been upto lately?
💙🚐
