Our Story

We are Nas and Alba, a travel-addict couple who’s been at it for 10 years (and counting!)


‍

HOW IT ALL STARTED

We met at University in the UK in 2014

In wasn't long after, that we decided to get a 1-way ticket to somewhere… far.

But let's rewind.
‍
When we finished university we bossed our careers between
London, Dubai and Madrid - and we travelled. A lot.

Every time there was a long weekend, or we could get some days off from work, we’d be on a flight somewhere - Cyprus, Chile, The Philippines, Italy - the world was our Oyster.

But eventually, it didn’t feel enough, and on a random Tuesday night we looked at each other and said “f*ck it, life’s short, let’s quit and travel”.

And so we did.

At the start of 2022, we bought 1 way tickets to Mexico.

That year we went to Guatemala, Costa Rica, Italy, Austria, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and so many other incredible places. It was one of the best year of our lives.

We started documenting our travels on YouTube and sharing our tips on this blog!

In the beginning, our videos were simply a combination of Nas’ passion for videography, with the intention of recording our memories so we could re-watch later. But people started liking our videos, asking for more, and as we produced more content, tens of thousands of people tuned in.

Now we travel full time, sharing our tips & guides on YouTube and working remotely with brands

Alba is a chronic over-planner. The kind of person who has a full excel sheet with the trip budget, itinerary and hotels booked. We started putting together everything we learned from our travels into guides and now thousands of people plan their trips with our itineraries!
