The Adventures of Jellie
We are John and Ellie, welcome to our adventures!
We’re a South London couple, with a passion for travel, food and photography. After meeting at university, and spending a decade in the offices of London we gave into our wanderlust and set off on our adventures.

We set off on our big adventure in July 2022 and headed to Asia. Since departing, we have been documenting our travels here on our website as well as Instagram and the occasional YouTube video.
We love the unexpected and always try to get off the beaten path. Whether it’s eating at tiny hole in the wall curry joints, mad tuk tuk rides or simply going places that people said we shouldn’t, we’re always looking for adventure beyond the walled gardens of Trip Advisor and Google Reviews!
Join us on our adventures for the best guides, long term travel advice and tips and tricks you won’t find in the Lonely Planet!
