Welcome to Schindlers on Tour
Join us on our travelling and lifestyle adventures. Visit our travel blogLearn More about UsHi, we’re Schindlers on Tour
We’re Sharon & Dave, an active and adventurous Irish & English couple who live (and love) to travel.
We’ve been travelling around the world together on and off, for 20+ years. Currently we’re either living on “Cloud Nine”, our self-converted Citroen Relay van, or house sitting for your homes and pets while you holiday!
This website is a place for us to share our stories, and to connect with you. It’s a memory bank for us to look back on when we’re old and weary! And in the meantime maybe you will find inspiration for your next life adventure.
We’re delighted you’ve joined us.
