Our story
We started this blog in a hostel kitchen after a long bus ride, mostly so our parents would know where we were. Years later it is still a notebook, only now other people read it.
We travel slowly and spend more time in fewer places. That means better stories, cheaper trips and a habit of getting happily lost.
