Three years ago, the American quit her accountancy job to accompany her South African husband on the tour full time. "In my own way I know how much I do for Kevin and what a big part in his team that I play," she said. Courtesy Kelsey Anderson

The couple spend around nine months of the year traveling the globe, and Kelsey says she often gets to see more of the cities they visit than her husband.

"I'm lucky in that I don't mind going off and being on my own. But that's something I think a lot of wives struggle with," said Kelsey, who posted this Paris selfie on her Instagram account. Courtesy Instagram/Kelsey Anderson
