About Us
We're a couple who believes that amazing travel experiences don't require luxury budgets or heavy luggage.
Our Story
We started traveling together with the dream of seeing the world, but not the budget of luxury travelers. What we discovered changed everything.
By traveling light, choosing shoulder season, and embracing budget-friendly options, we found we could travel longer, see more, and have more authentic experiences than we ever imagined.
Now, after exploring multiple countries across 4 continents, we're here to share everything we've learned about making travel accessible to everyone.
Our Travel Philosophy
Travel Light
Everything we need fits in our Osprey Farpoint 40L backpacks. No checked bags means more freedom, lower costs, and less stress. We've mastered the art of packing smart, not packing more.
Budget Conscious
We believe incredible experiences shouldn't require a trust fund. By staying in hostels, cooking our own meals, and seeking out free activities, we stretch our budget without sacrificing adventure.
Shoulder Season
Visiting destinations in shoulder season means fewer crowds, better prices, and more authentic interactions with locals. It's the sweet spot between peak tourist season and the off-season.
Our Essential Gear
Osprey Farpoint 40L
Our go-to travel backpack. Carry-on sized, comfortable, and incredibly durable. We've put these through thousands of miles and they're still going strong.
Camera Equipment
My fiancé captures our journey with a mirrorless camera and a couple of versatile lenses. Light enough to carry all day, powerful enough for stunning shots.
Quick-Dry Clothing
Merino wool and synthetic fabrics are our best friends. They dry overnight, resist odors, and can be worn multiple times before washing.
Electronics
Universal adapter, portable power bank, and our phones for navigation and booking. We keep electronics minimal to save space and weight.
