ABOUT
A little about who we are, what we believe, and the life we choose to create
Meet us
We are two people who never quite followed the path that was laid out for us. Travel changed the way we see the world, living abroad changed the way we see ourselves, and over time we started creating a life that feels more like our own.
We have lived abroad, travelled to more than 75 countries, moved with our five animals, worked remotely from different parts of Europe and created a home base in the Netherlands. Today, we continue to divide our time between home and life abroad, travelling slowly and staying longer in the places we love.
There is no perfect plan behind it all. Just curiosity, a love for travel and the willingness to keep asking ourselves what kind of life we actually want to live.
OUR JOURNEYWhat We Believe
We believe life is too personal to be lived by someone else's expectations. Over the years, we have learned that dreams rarely happen by themselves. Sometimes you have to make the first move, take a chance and accept that you cannot know exactly where it will lead.
We also believe it is worth taking the time to figure out what truly matters to you, but just as importantly, what doesn't. What gives you energy, what makes you happy and what kind of life feels right for you. And perhaps just as important, what you no longer want to spend your limited time on. Because time is one thing none of us can get back.
That doesn't mean you have to constantly chase experiences or turn your life upside down. It simply means that, for us, it feels important to be intentional about how we spend the time we have. For us, that meant travelling more, living abroad, working differently and creating a life with more freedom and space to explore. Not everything went as planned, and not every choice was easy. But looking back, we are glad we didn't keep waiting for the perfect moment.
You don't have to have everything figured out before you start. Sometimes you just have to take the first step, make room for what matters and see where it takes you.
We hope that by sharing our journey, the things we have learned and the choices we have made, we can inspire you to think about what matters to you and what kind of life you want to create.
And because we know that inspiration is one thing, but making it happen is another, we also share some of the tools, resources and practical things that have helped us along the way. Things we actually use in our own lives and travels, in the hope that they might be useful to you too.
