Chapter 9

Monday, January 12th, 8:00am Princess Arabella's Suite, Huis ten Bosch Palace, The Hague

Arabella sat at the head of her dining room table, nibbling on a toast, reading the morning paper while Harry sat on her left eating his pancakes. They were both ready for the Parade that is starting at ten that morning. Prince Harry and Princess Arabella will have their first public appearance since their engagement that was announced right now.

(Author’s side note: Just imagine her skirt is longer until just before her knees.)

They both were enjoying the quiet morning eating their breakfast before there were three knocks on the door. Arabella sighed before folding her paper and wiped her lips and Harry drank his tea.

"Good Morning Your Royal Highness', these came for you this morning Ma'am. Ms Jane and Mr Fox are also here ma'am, sir." Pieter bowed his head and announced their private secretaries who came in behind him and stood by the sides. Then eleven men in suits came in the room holding a tray with tiara's sat on top of them. Harry sat there jaws open as he stared at the people in surprise. Arabella just sat there drinking her tea.

"Are these the tiaras I got for my birthday?" Arabella asked Pieter. He nodded his head before adding, "As well as tiaras you got as an engagement present ma'am."

"Please proceed." Arabella said knowing that every year for her birthday she got some jewelleries and sometimes tiaras from her godparents.

"The Blue Sapphire Flower set from His Majesty King Willem-Alexander." Pieter announced and a man on the front of the line brought forward the tray with the tiara and matching earrings.

"Ruby Star jewellery set from Her Majesty Queen Maxima."

"The Bella tiara from Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."

"The Enchanted Pearl tiara from His Royal Highness The Grand Duke of Luxembourg."

"The Sapphire Teardrop jewellery set from Her Royal Highness The Grand Duchess of Luxembourg."

"The Rose Tiara from His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden."

"The Pearl and Crystal tiara from His Majesty King Phillipe of Belgium."

"The Golden Forrest tiara from Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II of Denmark."

"The Blue Fairy tiara from His Serene Highness The Prince of Liechtenstein."

"The Golden Dragonfly Tiara from His Serene Highness The Sovereign Prince of Monaco."

"The Rose Bandeau Tiara from His Majesty King Herold V of Norway."

"The Elisa head piece tiara from His Majesty King Felipe VI of Spain."

"And Lastly as an engagement present from Their Majesties King Willem-Alexander and Queen Elizabeth II, The Blue Crystal Cluster tiara."

"Jane, will you please send the official thank you notes to the Kings and Queens for the tiaras and update the royal vault account about the history and from where the tiaras originated. Pieter please inform Sara and Anna about these tiaras and put them in the Vault thank you." With a nod, Arabella sipped her tea as Pieter proceeded to leave the room together with the jewelleries leaving Ed and Jane by the wall.

Harry couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed.  He couldn’t remember a time where he had seen that many tiaras in one place and openly. He remembered his mother had a few collection but not that much. Arabella just got eleven new tiaras just by getting engaged and turning thirty. Harry knew that Kate had inherited his mother’s tiara through Will by default and when he and Arabella marry, she will inherit some too but Harry doesn’t think that Arabella will need them as she will have her own sets clearly from just now as well as her own family jewels.

"What just happened?" Harry thought aloud, he was still in shock of what had occurred a few minutes ago.

"It is customary that Princess Arabella receive a few jewellery or tiaras for her engagement. It was a sign of respect that every monarch in Europe especially sent some form of jewellery to mark the Princess's engagement. It is also an understanding and a sign of treaty amongst the current European monarchy with a future monarch." Jane quickly stood forward and explained to Harry simply. There was more to that of course. Arabella is close to most if not all of Europe's reigning monarch therefore most of them sent her tiara's. However, other heirs during their engagement got pieces of jewelleries such as brooches, watches, jewellery sets. Not as grand as Arabella. Then again, she calls most if not all of the reigning monarchs aunts and uncles.

"Please sit down, Jane and Ed. We have much to discuss this morning before the parade." Arabella said as a request but they knew that underneath, it was more like an order.

Ed tried to shake his head, getting briefed earlier about the etiquette towards the princess, but when he looked to his left, he saw Jane shook her head lightly before sitting down one seat below the princess on her right side. The protocols were so much different than to their British ones. He was sure that he didn’t act this way towards Prince William and even calls prince Harry, Harry sometimes. He knew that when at home, he usually don’t bother Prince Charles so he doesn’t know how to act around the heir of the throne. Ed then pulled the seat next to Jane and sat down.

"The announcement were live ten minutes ago and so far the response have been positive. Many would like to see the Prince by your side in public more often." Jane started off, she had her tablet in front of her with information open and her notes easy to access.

"That's wonderful news." Arabella said before calling the footman forward. "Call Miss Sara or Anna, whichever is not occupied with the gifts and tell her to come here please and bring my notebook with her as well. Thank you."

"Prince Harry's office staff will still reside at St. James Palace and will communicate here for the time being. They will then move to Noordeinde Palace in March after your royal tour in the UK is done." Ed said next, ticking it off the list.

"Yes, in the meantime, Harry will use my staff  while he is here to work on any projects. The staff members that he doesn’t have will have to use mine from now on until further notice." Arabella added on.

"What exactly does that mean?" Harry asked, before they could move on to the next topic. Harry knew that he can always ask questions if he was confused and doesn’t understand. Arabella is trying to ease him into this life and makes sure he understands it all.

"Staff such as press secretary, lawyer, and doctor are those you share with Will and Kate. Now that you are engaged to me, you are no longer their employer and you will use mine from now on." Arabella tried to explain.

"Today's parade will start at Binnenhof, where you will meet the Prime Minister as well as the parliament, meet the crowds and will be on an open topped car that will take you to Noordeinde Palace. There will be a soldier's march and a marching band that will lead you to Noordeinde. The parade will take a few hours as half way through, the both of you will have to walk and talk to the people. King Willem-Alexander, Queen Maxima and former Queen Beatrix will meet you at Noordeinde for Lunch. Lunch is a public affair so there will be photographers present. After lunch, you both have meetings to discuss and pick wedding planners and things related to the wedding." Jane told the pair.

"Is that all?" Arabella asked as she finished her tea.

"Yes Ma'am. Your car is waiting for you downstairs to take you to Binnenhof." Ed said as both he and Jane stood up and bowed to Arabella and Harry before leaving the room.

"Are you ready for today?" She asked her fiancé, looking at him with loving eyes.

"I think so."

"It will be much different now that everybody knows you're my fiancé."

"I know, but I'm ready." Harry kissed her knuckles before standing up and pulling Arabella up to go downstairs and into the cars.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Harry and Arabella arrived at Binnenhof to a thundering screams. There was a lot of people present and Harry could clearly tell that Arabella is loved by her people. There was an open top vehicle ready infront for the steps of Binnenhof. The car stopped a few meters away from the car and Harry went out of the car first. With a wave, he went over to Arabella’s side and helped her down the car. When she stepped out of the car, the crowds grew wild and she waved at them making them screaming even louder.

The couple held hands before moving towards the crowds by the barricades to greet them.

“Congratulations on the Engagement princess Arabella!” An elder woman said as she handed Arabella a bouquet of roses.

“Thank you so much!” Arabella smiles at the woman, shaking her hands.

Arabella and Harry went down the barricades and shook people’s hands. All of them either wishing Arabella a happy birthday or congratulating them on their engagement. They reached the point where their car is next to them so they waved to the rest of the crowds before moving to the car. Harry climbed in first before helping Arabella up and into the car.

“You okay?” Arabella asked Harry holding his hands in hers.

“Yeah. The people clearly love you.” He said smiling at her.

“I try to be as relatable as I can even though I am a royal and is privaledged. That’s why I try to have a lot of charities to help out.” She said shrugging her shoulders.

“You are amazing, you know that right?” Harry said before leaving to kiss her cheeks lightly. The crowds saw that and cheered very loudly.

Laughing they both turned to the crowds of people waiting to see them and waved.

On their way to Noordeinde Palace, the engaged couple could see signs wishing Arabella a Happy birthday as well as some UK Flags mixed with the Netherlands Flags.

“You know this will be somewhat like our wedding but instead of a car we will be in a glass carriage my father used and in Amsterdam. There will be soldiers marching and a marching band. There’s more that will happen I just can’t remember what.” Arabella told Harry.

“As long as I get to be your husband, I’m okay.” Harry said cheekily to Arabella which earned him a slap on his arm.

“Stop abusing me woman!” Harry laughed. “I’m trying to be loving but I got slapped instead. Sheesh woman.”

Shaking her head, Arabella just laughed and laid her head on his shoulders. Unknown to the couple, this private moment was captured by the press and sold to every magazine cover in the world with headlines such as: "PRINCE HARRY AND PRINCESS ARABELLA SHOWS PDA" "PRINCE HARRY CHANGING UP THE ROYAL GAME" "PRINCESS ARABELLA PREPARES PRINCE HARRY FOR PUBLIC DO'S AND DON'TS".

Arriving at the half point mark, they got out of the car with Harry helping Arabella and waved to the crowds once more. The marching band, where students from all over the country were selected to play on the parade, started up the march with the couple walking behind them.

Harry waved at the people and mouthed hellos to them, trying to get eye-contact to some of them to show that 'yes, I noticed you'. Arabella smiled at the people and made faces at the babies that were carried on their parents shoulders.

When Harry noticed a sign that said, "Prince Harry, forget Arabella, Marry me instead."  Harry laughed at that one before nudging Arabella and pointed to the sign. Arabella read it and laughed out loud, throwing her head backwards. Harry smiled at the sight before looking at the person who's holding out the sign. He then smiled before shrugging and mouth sorry before turning back to Arabella. The girls holding the signs squealed as they got noticed and awed at the love that can be seen in Harry's eyes when he looked at Arabella.

Arabella and Harry walked towards Noordeinde Palace, sometimes going to the side to say hello to the people and play with the kids. The pair would also sometimes dance while they walked and had a lot of fun on the parade.

When they arrived at Noordeinde Palace, Arabella's parents, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima was there accompanied by Princess Beatrix, the Prime Minister as well as Arabella's three younger sisters. Stopping in front of them, Arabella gave a deep curtsy while Harry bowed his head. When Arabella stood straight again, she went forwards to kiss her father on the cheeks before moving on to Queen Maxima. Harry then followed suit and greeted the king with a handshake and a kiss to the cheeks. This gave a public stamp of approval for the royal couple and they moved inside to the dining room after giving the crowds another wave.

"Come lets go to the dining room and have lunch. I’m sure you’re both famished.” Queen Maxima said to her daughter and future son in law ushering them into the dining room where around two photographers were waiting.

Since this is considered an official event, the press are allowed in and take photos to sell to the highest bidder. It’s a give and take scenario, the press respects the royal family and in turn the royal family gives the press something so they can do their jobs.

During lunch, they all shared a few jokes and laughed a few times. With the PM asking Arabella on her plans for the year, this time more constructed and more formal than their lunch the week before, King Willem-Alexander asked about their newly engaged title and how they felt with everything. With the press taking pictures and taking note what was happening in the room, they all knew to keep the conversations light and to not reveal anything that might endanger their safety.

At the end of lunch, the press invited were very happy as they got pictures and moments where Prince Harry was being affectionate with Princess Arabella as well as the relationship between the King and the Prince. It showed very good behaviour on Harry’s part as well as a polite and dignified young man that is capable of being a future King. This was approved by the public when they saw how he was interacting with the prime minister and Princess Beatrix. He was respectful and polite, answering all the questions they had for him yet he was also being his charming and funny self.

After lunch, the group went to the balcony to watch the flyover that the airforce have dedicated for Arabella and you can tell that Harry is amazed. During Trooping of the Colour, Harry is always either beside (when he was still single) or behind William. He was never front and center and that was where Harry was for this flyover. With King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima at the center, Princess Beatrix was next to Maxima and the PM next to her while Arabella was next to King Willem-Alexander and Harry next to her. He was also not used to the minimal amount of people on the balcony looking over the crowds and the flyover. He was used to having a big family and have everyone crowded in that balcony to watch the jets.  

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry and Arabella, after the flyover, waved one final time to the crowds before going indoors and into Arabella’s offices in the East Wing of the Palace and that’s where Harry’s will be as well. Right now, they have a meeting with their team to prepare them, mostly Harry about the press conference, interview session and photo opportunity happening on Wednesday.

Adam, acting as both Arabella’s and Harry’s press secretary is leading the meeting with Arabella’s media relations team, now also acting as Harry’s.

“Good Afternoon Your Royal Highness’, this meeting will mainly be a refresher course of protocol and ways to act during the press conference on Wednesday. This is mainly for you sir.” Adam started off.

“Just be grateful that you’re not doing this alone and that it’s not an etiquette class. Gosh madam Sü is a pain in my backside.” Arabella mumbled to Harry’s ear.

“The conference will be conducted at Noordeinde Palace, as it is known as a working palace. It will be held in the east wing, where the Princess of Orange's offices are located. The doors open to press at nine in the morning so they will be able to set up their equipment's and get questions ready. Most questions are being sent over first so we can comb through it and take out unwanted questions, but there will still be questions that is difficult to answer on the day itself." Arabella's communications secretary, Aleta said. "Pieter will announce your entrance as 'Her Royal Highness The Princess of Orange and her fiance, His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales.' Princess Arabella will enter the room first. She will then be the first to sit down and everyone else will follow suit."

"It is important that Princess Arabella will open the panel and questions will start coming in. Avoid answering the questions in detail but avoid being too vague. We do want some substance for the interview that will be conducted right after the press conference." Her advisor, Gerrit mentioned.

Harry now realise what an important deal this is for them, for Arabella to be announced first, for her to open the conference and for her to end it as well. She is the future monarch after all and it has to be seen that she is in command of the whole thing.

"There are no rules of affections here so feel free to do so if you please. We want to make this conference as natural as possible. Unlike the British, we like to be as transparent with the press as much as we can afford to so they will be more respectful towards us. After the incident with Queen Maxima, there is an understanding between the press and the royal family." Jane piped up.

"As for the interview, it will be done by the BBC, as per your traditions, inside the drawing room at centre court. Your interviewer will be Mishal Husain from the BBC and it will air later that night at eight local time, seven in the UK. The photoshoot will be taken by Tatiana, Her Highness' official photographer and will take place all over the palace." Hans, the deputy communications secretary said.

"Three official engagement photographs will be released that night right after the interview by the Dutch royal family's official twitter account as well as Kensington Palace twitter account. They will be released simultaneously." Adam said before continuing, "As for the state dinner on Thursday night, Prince Harry is only required to bow to reigning monarchs now that he is engaged to Princess Arabella. It is crucial that you do not and I repeat do not bow to anyone other than Kings and Queens. Countries that are invited to attend are, Belgium, Denmark, Principality of Liechtenstein, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Principality of Monaco, Norway, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Brunei, Japan, Jordan, Lesotho, the United States and Canada. It is crucial that we remain an ally to these countries.”

“Guests and dignitaries will arrive at half past seven. King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima will arrive at quarter to eight and Princess Arabella and Prince Harry will arrive last at eight sharp. The state dinner will be at Noordeinde Palace. They will introduce the Princess of Orange first before introducing Prince Henry of Wales and will enter the room together.” Gerrit said. “The King and Queen will sit down first followed by the Princess of Orange and Prince Harry and all the other guests will follow suit.”

“Okay I think we’re done for the day.” Arabella clapped her hands standing up, making the rest of the room stand up as well. “It’s been a long day and I would like go home and spend alone time with my fiancé thank you very much.” With a wave, Arabella left the room with Harry following

“Well that wasn’t so bad.” Harry said next to her walking to the entrance so they can head back to Huis ten Bosch palace.

“Actually I think that was a meeting more than a protocol lesson.” Arabella thought out loud. “Anyways, what do you want to do tonight?”

“Should we order in and watch a movie?”

“Hm, I’ll have Jane to order Chinese and maybe we can watch Suits.” Arabella smiled up to Harry.

“Yes to the Chinese and Suits? Really? That’s not a movie.” Harry laughed.

“Yes suits. I feel like watching that tonight. Just to relax.”

“Fine. Better call Jane now for the Chinese. God knows what they need to do before the food comes to you.” Harry said pulling her to the door and into the car. “Let’s go home.”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~

“Okay so the Chinese food arrived ten minutes ago and its being processed right now, did you put on the tv?” Harry asked walking into the living room where Arabella is currently at.

“Yeah, it’s ready.” Arabella stood up and went to the couch where the blankets are laid out and Harry now sat. She climbed on the sofa and cuddled into Harry before pressing play on the remote, starting the episode. Halfway through, the Chinese arrived being brought out by Pieter and when the show ended the pair was hooked.

“I think if you never met me, you would be with her.” Arabella said pointing to the screen where Rachel, played by Meghan Markle froze. “Maybe even get married and have a nice small intimate wedding at St. George Chapel.

“Hm, maybe. But I’m with you and I’m having a big televised and overly glamourous wedding with you in Amsterdam. I’ll take you over her anyday.” Harry said before kissing her.

“Maybe we should take this to the bedroom?” Arabella looked up at Hary with a small smirk.

“You little..” Harry picked her up and Arabella laughed making Harry smile.

What is your typical day like?

My day begins at 6:30am with a visit to the gym and I am usually in the office by 8am. I catch up on all the overnight correspondence from our clients in the USA and Australia before reviewing my to-do list for the day – then the real work begins!

I like to meet business colleagues or friends a few times a week for lunch. Otherwise, there is a danger of always eating lunch at my desk! I like to finish my workday around 6pm, but due to time differences and as our business is predominantly destination clients coming to Ireland from USA and UK, I can have calls with clients late into the evening.

My founding and parent company is McEvents & Weddings, but having identified the destination wedding market appeal of Ireland, I established the Dream Irish Wedding brand to target and appeal to potential overseas clients.

We are affiliated with some of Ireland’s finest and most luxurious wedding venues including Adare Manor, Dromoland Castle, and Ashford Castle & Luttrellstown Castle, but we are equally happy to host a client’s intimate elopement on the Cliffs of Moher. We also work at many other locations throughout Ireland including manor houses, coastal retreats, and boutique venues. We plan all sizes of events from small intimate weddings to events with 600+ guests!

As soon as the legislation in Ireland changed to permit gay weddings, we embraced this market and to date have done a number of fabulous bride & bride and groom & groom weddings!

I am a founding member and Vice President of the WIPA Ireland Chapter (2021) which we started in Ireland earlier this year. It is the first chapter outside of the USA. When we look back on the first four months of this year, all of our time was taken up with lobbying the government for clarification and reopening guidelines for events.

I am also a Failte Ireland (tourist board) Brand Ambassador along with only two other planners in Ireland for the luxury destination wedding market.

How did you get started in the industry? 

I have a degree in Hotel Management and Business. I reached the position of Hotel General Manager and finally Events Manager of a large leading world hotel. At this point, I decided to start up my own wedding and event planning business.

I did a “Start Your Own Business Course” with a local enterprise board which set me up nicely, but my background in hotel management and business degree were enormous advantages too. My hotel management experience included event and conference planning.

I am always learning with new training opportunities and adding skills such as receiving a wedding and event styling accreditation, completing a marketing and public relations course, and recently completed a Smart Choice Leadership Program. 

Pre-Covid, I would regularly visit the USA to learn and explore the latest wedding trends, fashion and event styles, new furnishings and decor, latest linen styles, and entertainment options.

Originally I did a lot of advertising in the bridal magazines and in fact, my first couple found me in an Irish bridal magazine and those same clients brought me seven weddings through word of mouth friends, family, and even one stranger they met on a flight! The power of referrals is priceless in this industry.

Through my background in hotels, I had connections to lots of venues which gave me the advantage to get on their preferred lists!

It was the early days of websites when I started, but I invested in SEO which paid off with business coming my way, particularly from the overseas market. I also attended wedding shows in Ireland, the USA, and the UK. However, I didn’t find the return particularly on the USA one to merit the outlay!

Tourism Ireland, the tourist board which promotes Ireland overseas has supported me with funding and opportunities to be featured at events in the USA and UK.

What challenges did you face when you started your own business? 

In the early years, getting my name and brand out was a huge challenge. Finding good vendors was difficult in Ireland in the early days as weddings were a lot more low-key and lacked creativity. Although some vendors I worked with back then I would still rate well today! 

My psychology and sociology experience certainly helped me understand and handle all of the family dynamics involved in a wedding from the couples, to the parents, to the wedding party!

At one point, I overstretched myself by taking on a luxury linen franchise that already covered all of Ireland and there really wasn’t a market large enough outside of the country to merit a second branch. But it was still a good experience that I learned a lot from.

What other advice do you have to share?

Hotel management is a great stepping stone for wedding planning and gives you a great grounding and understanding of everything from food and beverage to table and room setups, administration including the banquet event order, and executing a wedding on the day.

Test the market before becoming a wedding planner to ensure there is a strong level of business available to you to generate a successful and sustainable wedding planning business.

Decide early on if you are going to remain the main planner or expand so that you structure and plan accordingly from the start.

Aside from wedding and event planning, how do you spend your time?

I am originally from the East of Ireland, but now live with my wonderful husband in the West of Ireland on a fabulous golf course in Co. Limerick. I have two stepsons and a grandchild living in the UK. We are very close to all of our extended families throughout Ireland, UK, and Luxembourg.

My husband and I love to travel. We have a keen interest in visiting other countries to experience their culture, heritage, and food. We like to travel overseas 7-8 times per year. Most years, we visit the USA. Our favorite USA locations include Washington DC, New York, Chicago, Palm Springs, and Florida. Outside of the USA, we have enjoyed Taj Mahal, Wall of China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Rome, and Istanbul. I like to keep fit, play golf, walk, do photography, read, and experience new hotels and restaurants.

Michelle, thank you so much for taking the time to share your story and a day in your life. If you are an event planner and would like to be featured, download our questionnaire today and email it to us along with a photo. If you aren’t sure about being featured, take a few minutes to read how it can help your business.

Couple who travel the world full time reveal their backpacking tips

A British couple that travel the world full-time posting envy-inducing photos on their Instagram account have revealed the secrets of their incredible lifestyle.

Jack Goodwin-Jones, 26, and Becky O’Connell, 25, met when they were studying at Sheffield Hallam University. 

The twosome run @twotickets.toanywhere, an Instagram page where they detail their amazing lives of travel for their 25,000 followers – as they traverse the globe visiting exotic locations. 

They managed to save their funds for their adventures by saving on meals out, skipping drinks with friends and call partying abroad ‘the number one budget killer’.

A love nest: The couple visited Bali in November 2018, snapping this adorable picture for their Instagram account 

The young couple admit they are ‘loving life’ as they travel the world, but say that low points can include missing their family (pictured here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, March 2019)

The couple, who are now full-time travellers, have visited an average of 6.8 countries per year since graduating university (pictured here in Lisbon, Portugal in July 2018) 

Despite meeting in the rainy northern city of Sheffield, the young couple had dreams of escaping the 9-5 lifestyle that most graduates are faced with after university and traveling to more colourful locations than the steel city. 

Their first holiday was to Cyprus in June 2014, and after series of mini-breaks they realised how much they love exploring places together.

Now their Instagram account is filled with wanderlust photos from Cambodia, Australia, Thailand, Spain, Slovakia, Singapore and many more.

And whilst other young graduates are chained to their office desk, Jack and Becky have visited a staggering 34 countries together – an average of 6.8 per year. 

Jack and Becky, pictured here in March 2019, share their adventures with 25,000 followers on Instagram 

Jack explains that living the travelling lifestyle gives them a freedom that keeps their minds ‘clear and happy’ (pictured in Chiang Mai, Thailand in February 2019) 

After graduating the loved up pair were not keen to get a 9-5 job, and set off travelling the world instead (pictured in Chiang Mai, Thaliand, February 2019)

Jack explains: ‘Honestly, we never like to say this to people as it sounds like we’re bragging, but we love our life. 

‘Travelling every day, not really having a schedule and being free to wake up when we want (don’t be fooled, this is often 5am) gives us a massive sense of freedom.

‘No 9-5 job could ever give us this. The freedom we have helps us to keep our minds clear and happy, we decide our own routine.’

Revealing how they were able to fund their adventures, Jack said: ‘Before we started travelling, we obviously saved a fair amount of money.

Becky, pictured here in Chiang Mai, Thaliand, February 2019, admitted that the hardest part of travelling was missing her family 

Jack and Becky have now visited 34 different countries together (pictured) larking around in Penang, Malaysia, in March 2019) 

After travelling around Asia and Australia for six months, the pair went interailing in Europe during the summer of 2018 (pictured here in Budapest in August 2018)

The couple managed to save money by never going out for expensive meals, and only going out for drinks once or twice a year (pictured in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, March 2019)

For a full year, the couple managed to live purely from their savings, and travelled through Asia, Australia and Europe (pictured in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, March 2019)

‘We did this by never going out for expensive meals and only going out drinking with our friends two times in an entire year. Having full time jobs and living like this, it was easy for us to save the money.

‘So for one year of full-time travel we lived off our savings.

‘Even though we’d have loved to, when we were living off our savings, we never stayed in 5 star hotels (or any hotels really, unless the price was right), instead choosing guesthouses and homestays. They’re a fraction of the price, always clean, private and usually come with good breakfast.

‘After around the one year mark we realised that we needed to make some money if we wanted to stay travelling full-time.

The budget-conscious couple revealed they avoid staying in hotels, opting for homestays and cheaper guest houses (pictured in front of the famous Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, March 2019)

Jack revealed that the couple love the freedom of the travelling lifestyle (pictured in Chiang Mai, Thaliand, February 2019)

Jack admitted the couple have a joint account from which they pay for all their travels together (pictured in Singapore in August 2018)

The couple help to fund their lifestyle by teaching English to Chinese children online for 12 hours a week each (pictured in Australia in 2017)

The couple say they’ve managed to visit home twice since they started their adventures in 2017, but revealed they rely on FaceTime to keep up to date with their families (pictured here in Prague, July 2018) 

Jack revealed that the couple often stay at ‘home stays’ while travelling, to save money. Staying with locals is often a fraction of the price of a hotel (pictured in at a homestay in Bali, May 2019)

‘This is when we looked into online teaching. Now, we teach English to Chinese children online for 12 hours a week each.

‘This completely pays for us to travel, albeit at a slower pace than we used to.

‘Online teaching isn’t the only option though. There are ton of jobs that you can do remotely, we’ve met everything from wedding planners to health consultants who travel and work from their laptop!’

However, the twosome admit to having to be very careful with their budget, and confess that there are days when not everything is magical.

Jack and Becky have returned to Malaysia several times during their travels, often posting photographs of visits to temples on their Instagram account

The couple, pictured here in Bali, admit they have to be sensible with their money and rarely treat themselves

While their Instagram feed may look like the picture-perfect life, the couple say they use their Instagram stories to speak more candidly about travelling (pictured here in Malaysia, March 2019) 

The couple, who met at university in Sheffield had been together for five years before they started travelling together (pictured in front of the famous Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, March 2019)

The young travellers admitted they work on their travel content every day, and called it ‘more than a full time job’ 

Whilst their social media feed may look like one incredible sunset after another, the couple are refreshingly honest on their Instagram stories and speak honestly about what life is really like behind the glamorous photos.

Jack explains: ‘Basically, to do what we do, you have to be sensible with your money.

‘You can’t treat yourself to everything you want, every day in your home country and the same applies when you’re travelling like we are.

‘We know people who had planned to travel for a long time and returned home within two months because they partied their money away. Partying is the number one budget killer, we promise you that.’

The couple openly admit that despite their picture-perfect appearance, not everything is always as it seems.

He adds: ‘People who look at our Instagram feed might assume that full time travelling is the perfect life and every day is full of fun and adventure.

‘The truth is, we only post the good times and our best shots to our Instagram feed itself.

‘Nobody wants to see our bad experiences documented in pictures and posted to our feed, nor do they want to see us sat on a bus waiting to cross a border or chilling in the airport looking tired at four in the morning.

He went on: ‘We still do share all of our most real candid moments, good or bad, but we reserve those for our Instagram stories where we can show it in a video and explain what’s happening in our day to day life.

The couple, pictured here in Bali in May 2019, say they’re all about being ‘real and relatable’, but say it’s difficult to be away from friends and family for a long time 

The couple admitted that despite their seemingly  ‘perfect’ life, they still had down days (pictured here in Bali in May 2019)  

Jack and Becky run an Instagram page @twotickets.toanywhere as well as teaching English online to fund their lifestyle (pictured in Langkawi, Malaysia, March 2019) 

Jack and Becky, who have been in a relationship for five years before their adventure, admitted travelling together was ‘such a big commitment’

‘We’re all about staying real and relatable. It’s clear to most that we’re far from the ‘perfect’ Instagram couple – there’s enough of those already. We’re just here to enjoy ourselves, be real and hopefully make people laugh.’

‘I love what we do, but it’s still difficult being away from family and friends for long periods of time,’ adds Becky.

‘We’ve managed to visit home twice since we’ve been away but it would obviously be nice to see family more often. Face time is great though!’ 

Jack and Becky’s top travel tips for other couples  

– It’s probably not the best idea to travel full time with somebody you’ve not been with for too long. We were together for 5 years before we did it. It’s such a big commitment and if you don’t know all of your own and your partner’s quirks then you might very quickly start to get on each other’s nerves.

– It’s important to know that you’re comfortable with each other, the travel life throws all kinds of unexpected twists and turns at you. You need to be able to stay calm and deal with it.

– Set your boundaries before you travel. What’s your budget? How much are you comfortable spending on accommodation etc. Will you be sharing all your money or keeping it separate? We have a joint account that we pay for all of our travels with. It works for us but not for everyone.

– Don’t think it’s easy to just become a travel blogger/Instagrammer. It’s not only very hard (especially if you have no previous experience) but also takes up a lot of time. We work every day on our photography and editing skills, blog writing, replying to people on Instagram to help with their own travelling. Being a content creator takes up more time than a full-time job. But at the end of the day, we enjoy it and do it on our own terms!
