Life on the Open Road | Our Journey so far | Part 1
For those of you who don't know us, we are Alex, Ryan & Ziggy Hutchinson, creators of Mahiya.

After creating our successful online and Gold Coast-based business, Mahiya, we decided it was time to pack up our belongings and hit the road to explore our Australian backyard with the newest member of the family, one year old Ziggy.

We hope you enjoy our latest Mahiya travel crush...
