adventures that stretch our comfort zones!

We’re travel bloggers and film creators, who love to travel on a budget. We started our vlogs to share with you all of our experiences in beautiful destinations we are so grateful to have travelled to!

After continuously running into problems on the road, we thought it always seemed quite funny to look back on (though not always so in the moment!) when telling our friends and family. We decided to begin documenting our trips and found it helped our confidence, and gave us an extra push to further explore each country we visit.

Our trips usually consist of accidentally stumbling onto an incredible area after the universe has thrown its multitude of curveballs our way. We see this as “you’re always where you’re supposed to be” situations, and find ourselves becoming grateful for these ‘calamitys’ and truly welcome the issues with open arms – or at least we try to stay that positive!
