About us
When we met while studying at the university back in 2012, we were already envisioning a future containing a traveling lifestyle and discovering the world.
Now, eleven years later we saved enough money, quit our jobs, sold our stuff and left everything behind to travel the world. Living as free as a human being can be. And yes, we are still happily together.
