How it started
From mates at school about to leave for different universities we always had the plan to travel the world. The idea was to wait after completing our courses but we couldn’t seem to wait. After our first year we saved enough money to go inter-railing in Eastern and Central Europe. This being our first travel experience at 18 and 19 years old, we learnt a lot about travel during that time. Most importantly though we both learnt how much we loved it. Even though the name of our trip was ‘interbeer’ (which gives away the nature of that particular trip) the feeling of moving from place to place with our homes on our backs was far too contagious for us to stop.
TRAVELLING WHEN WE SHOULDN’T HAVE
From that trip we travelled all through our second and third year at university, mainly visiting more of Eastern Europe. Whether that was weeks away or just skipping Friday and Monday lectures to explore a city over a weekend.
2020 came and so did ‘rony rona’ that halted our travel and left us both scratching. However the lockdowns and lack of spending on travel allowed us not only to actually complete our degrees but save a substantial amount of money to set us up for our ‘around the world’ trip.
not looked back since
Leaving in September 2021 we had no real expectations but we knew we wanted to travel for as long as we could. 12 months was the goal. Almost coming up to 3 years its safe to say we have done more than both of us could ever have imagined.
We have now travelled a total of 75 countries across 6 continents since that time and have travelled the distance to the moon! Not our finest carbon footprint moment but it’s meant we have experienced all different types of cultures and met some incredible people. Not to forget trying some spectacular international beer on the way.

7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD
Visiting all 7 Wonders of the World wasn’t something we originally set out to do, it just happened. As we travelled, chasing adventures and new cultures, we naturally found ourselves standing before a few of these iconic sites: exploring the ancient stone paths of Machu Picchu, watching the sun rise over the temples of Chichén Itzá, and wandering the epic Great Wall. Somewhere along the way, we looked at each other and said, “Why not see them all?” From that point on, it became a mission, not just to check off a list, but to experience the wonder behind each place. Every stop was a chapter in our journey, full of awe, connection, and the thrill of discovery.
