WELCOME TO OUR TRAVEL BLOG, CHRABBYTRAVELS

ChrabbyTravels is a travel blog started by us, Chris and Gabby.  After putting out jobs on hold to see the world, we launched the blog in June 2019.

Extreme nerds and explorers, our goal is to travel, create new experiences, meet amazing people and to share our stories and tips with you, so you can be inspired to do the same.

We started our journey in March this year, and since then have crossed 5 continents and seen over 15 countries (although we had seen a lot more before this part of our story began).

We hope you enjoy our blog, and would like to continue being part of our experience and our story.  Because in the end, we’re all just stories, so let’s make it good one!

Expect new posts weekly!

Ever done a bit of glamping?⁠
.⁠
This was a first time for both of us. We kicked back in Wadi Rum, sheltered under a thick tent with airconditioning.  We like a true blue camping activity, but not sure we can look back after this 😅🙃🙃😇

.⁠
Jordan would have to be home to some of the most magnificent sunsets I have ever seen.  The mix of incredible landscapes and deserts creates a powerful red glow across the horizon, keeping you thinking about it for months to come.⁠
.⁠
There's no doubt we do a bit of post-editing on our photos, but this one is all-natural, looking out over the surrounding sea.⁠
.⁠
Gabby and I just didn't want to leave many of the places we visited for this very reason.  From the Dead Sea, shooting across the land to Wadi Rum, and over to the great ruins of Jaresh and Petra, the Sunsets made sure smiles never left our faces.⁠

#travelduos #thetravelduos #globetrottercouples #backpackersintheworld #inspiredtravelcouple What have you woken up super early for, and walked several kilometres to beat the crowds for a photo?⁠
.⁠
For us, it was to see Petra's Monastery.  The Monastery is hidden away, on the cities furthest point opposite the entrance a total of 4.5KM away, including the uphill stairs of death.⁠
.⁠
5KM doesn't seem long, but when you're fighting desert heat and racing to beat crowds, it can be hard on the soul.  But it was so worth it.⁠
.⁠
Tips - Jordan edition: Petra is in the middle of a desert.  It's super dry and super hot!  We highly recommend seeing Petra early morning, between 6AM and 1PM.  Any later in the day, and you lose all shade within the city and are fighting the heat.⁠
.⁠
Bring plenty of water and not to worry if you can only see it during the peak of day.  There are many tents within Petra to take a rest, have a drink and eat.  Although expect tourist prices.⁠

.⁠
This was the moment we had been waiting for.  Petra! Otherwise known as the Rose City.⁠
.⁠
You start with a 2KM walk from the hotel.  First thing in the morning at 5 AM, making sure we are the first people through the gates.  The walk takes you through a winding narrow canyon.  Engravings and statues cover the walls leading towards a bright light.  Then as your eyes adjust, this beauty appears before you, the Treasury.⁠
.⁠
Built in the 1st Century BC, the Treasury is one of the best-preserved structures within Petra, protected from strong winds and rains from within the canyon.  But for us, it only got better from here.⁠
.⁠
Tips - Jordan edition: We saw Petra in two days, racing around to hear all of its stories and see its many sights.  But realistically, it would take a full three days to see the complete city.  Not only is there much to see within, but you can walk deeper into the hills and explore structures carved into the rock outside of the core city limits.  I guess it's up to you as to how adventurous you want to be.⁠

.⁠
Kerak is home to one of the oldest Crusaders castles, built by the King of Jerusalem in the 12th Century.  It was an exceptional stronghold, built atop of the hill overlooking the entire valley as far as the eye can see.  This made for some mind-blowing views of Jordan's landscapes, all the way out to the dead sea.⁠
.⁠
Tips: The castle only takes about 1-1.5 hours to explore.  It's best visited on your way to Petra as a stop-off point.  You can grab some lunch around the local town of Karak, but watch out for the sneaky Jordan taxes on your bill!⁠

#travelduos #thetravelduos #globetrottercouples #backpackersintheworld #inspiredtravelcouple #chrabbytravels #nature I just couldn't jump like this without pulling a face!....⁠

Jerash was so much fun, I had to share this extra little pic of us exploring the long roads within the ruins.  Between the hoards of people, we found a little moment just to ourselves.⁠
.⁠
How do you find moments away from the crowds?⁠
.⁠
Tip - Jordan edition: We mentioned, a few posts ago, about the Jordan Pass (which is a must for visiting Jordan). Jerash is free entry with the pass, so make sure you get it if you plan to visit a lot of the ruins (which you should) 😊🙌⁠
