Combining our love for travel with a passion for research and photography, we created this online travel journal to share our experiences from six years travelling together to places both familiar and unfamiliar.
We love everything about travelling: immersing ourselves in different cultures, close encounters with the wonders of nature, the food, the people!
Our site brings together written and visual stories of our journeys, travel tips, itineraries, hidden gems, travel routes, photography tips, amazing travel photos, and so much more! With this, we hope to inspire you to travel off the beaten track and to help you prepare for your next adventure.

We did not start out as photography enthusiasts when we first started travelling, but over the years it has become our shared passion.
Photography has taught us to look at the world in a different way. Noticing people, nature, animals, details and events that we had previously simply passed by, without seeing them properly.
Over the years the photos we made along our travels, have become almost synonymous with the memories we have of certain places. Here we want to share some of those memories with you in our travel journal.
Go to our blog page to read more stories about travel photography, including photography for beginners, the best photography places and professional tips and tricks. So you too can get the most out of your travel photos!
