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.
Kerryn and Phil

We’re travelling again. 🚐
Our latest video is now live, and this time we’ve escaped to the quiet beauty of Carcoar Dam in regional NSW.
It was a simple, peaceful few days — historic towns, country bakeries, stormy skies, sunsets over the water, and the gentle joy of slowing down together in the van.
If you’ve been needing a calm little getaway, this one might feel like a breath of fresh air.
Thank you for travelling with us… it truly means more than you know. 💙

Where have you seen God show up in unexpected ways lately?
Often, there are moments in our day where things don’t go as we expect, and a small moment can suddenly carry more meaning than we thought it would.
It might be in a conversation that takes a direction you didn’t expect,
but somehow builds you up, encourages you, and helps you move forward.
Or it might be through someone’s kindness that catches you by surprise.
Just remember — God doesn’t condemn.
God doesn’t accuse.
God isn’t negative.
He may point out things that need changing,
But He is always loving.
Always directive.
Always a God of peace, love, and restoration. 🤍

What’s one habit that’s strengthened your marriage over the years?
Sometimes it’s really easy to focus on the things that have weakened our marriages or caused friction.
Why not take a moment to think about the things that have actually strengthened and enhanced your marriage over the years, the things that have brought you together and strengthened you as a couple.

What’s a place you’d go back to again and again without getting bored?
I’m surprised to say mine would be London and Paris.
Before visiting, I was never a big-city girl, and no major city has hit the same since.
I just can’t wait to go back and wander them again, the familiar streets and the ones I still haven’t discovered.

Where have you felt strengthened lately, even in a quiet way?
Sometimes when life is hard, we don’t always see where our strength is coming from.
Taking a moment to notice the small things can remind us that we’re not carrying it all alone. 🤍

Whether you set aside a special time or just catch up over a cuppa, these kinds of conversations matter.
They keep you connected, grounded, and growing together. 🤍
Conversation starters for couples:
What’s your favourite kind of ‘together time’ as a couple?
If we designed our perfect weekend, what would we do?
What are three relationship goals you’d love us to work on together?
If you’d like more gentle prompts like this, we’ve shared them in our Couples Communication Guide —
a simple resource to help couples stay connected through real conversations. 💙

Slow travel or a packed itinerary is often the question people ask, but I know from experience that this can be way too nuanced. I think there is at least one other, and we would fit this, a hybrid of both.
We would love to know what suits you?
