01 Aug Friends of #HFFH: Interview With Nastasia From Dame Traveler (The Ultimate Girl Traveller Inspo)
It’s been a while since we’ve done one of our “Friends of #HFFH” posts, and today we’re super excited to showcase the ultimate girl traveller ambassador, our (virtual) friend, Nastasia – the founder of the female travel and empowerment community, @DameTraveler. We started chatting to Nastasia in 2019, when she originally reached out to ask if she can feature one of our images in her upcoming book Dame Traveler: Live The Spirit Of Adventure. Without question we said yes, and now, with the book launched and selling fast off the proverbial Amazon shelves, we thought we’d sit down to chat to Nastasia to find out a little more about the super inspiring girl traveller project: @DameTraveler . Interview with Nastasia...
22 Mar Friends Of #HFFH: Desiree Illsinger
Let me introduce you to @desi.strolls aka Désirée Illsinger. Despite her French name, Desi (as we have come to calm her) is a proud German who has spent majority of her life living in grand German cities, such as Hamburg and Munich. She takes amazing photographs, writes (look out for her first self-published novel coming soon to a book store near you), and is not afraid to hop on a plane and travel to far off places solo…Vancouver, Paris, and New York come to mind. We met Desi in late 2015 at an Instameet in Munich. We were coincidentally there ticking off number 10 from our Wanderlist, “have a few beers at Oktoberfest in München, Germany,” with our friend Ant,...
24 Aug Friends Of #HFFH: Live-Bio
We’re so lucky to be meeting some amazing people on our journey. When we first planned our trip, it was all about the places and experiences. We’re quickly realizing that it’s the people that make the places more memorable, and really make the experiences. Our second featured friend(s) are Magdalena and Periklis of Live-Bio. Have you ever met a person (or people) who somehow stumbled into your life by chance, but you are really, REALLY glad they did? Enter Mags and Periklis, the founders of Live-Bio, our hosts in Greece, and our friends who we met serendipitously at the end of last year. Having only had two (delicious and home-made) dinners in Johannesburg together, but very similar ideologies about how...
26 May Friends Of #HFFH: Stefan Dahlqvist
We’re so lucky to be meeting some amazing people on our journey. When we first planned our trip, it was all about the places and experiences. We’re quickly realizing that it’s the people that make the places more memorable, and really make the experiences. Our first featured friend is Stefan Dahlqvist. We first met Stefan when we arrived in Alta, Norway. He looks exactly like what you’d expect a hip Scandanavian dog-loving musher to look like — well dressed with a heavy beard and 11 dogs in tow. Obviously. What you don’t get at first glance, though, is how amazingly talented he is. Stefan has been a dog musher for the past 10 years. He’s visited some of the most...

19 Jun A Moment Of Clarity, 3 Months Into Quarantine (COVID-series)
Today I woke up with an extra surge of energy and gratitude, and wanted to share it with you, because I don’t feel like we’ve shared a lot about ourselves and “our life in quarantine” publicly.
08 Dec 82,899km Later, We Made It To London
Home to the Union Jack, Queen Elizabeth’s guards, (currently) the world’s largest Ferris wheel, and the original underground train line, London, let me just say, is on a completely different level. This was not our first trip to London. We galavanted through the British streets back in 2012, on a Eurotrip that inspired us to come back to Europe. It was pleasant to see that not much has changed in three years, and, if anything, London has gotten more beautiful. We were lucky to visit the European Instagram headquarters on this trip, to have lunch with some of the world’s coolest and smartest people (they really are). The offices too were (unsurprisingly) fabulous – with game rooms, nap pods and...
21 Oct A Day At The Red Bull Hangar-7 In Salzburg, Austria
Our motto and motivation is to “collect experiences, not things”. Whilst on our journey, we’re aiming to spend our time and money on spectacular experiences, to be left with incredible learnings and memories, not tangible objects. This way, we’re sure to keep our lives light without additional luggage, but also be the change we want to see in the world. Our next featured experience is a day at the Redbull Hangar-7 in Salzburg. As part of the 12th annual Worldwide Instameet, the Austrian Igers partnered up with Boom Creative Lab and Redbull to take us 30 odd Instagram-nuts on a never-to-be-forgotten Redbull experience. In a double-decker drum-and-bass-blowing party bus, we headed from the Salzburg Hauptbahnhof to our event’s destination –...
06 Oct 3 Days In Istanbul, Turkey
When you hear from friends back home, and they say they’re going to be nearby, of course you make a plan to drop everything and head off to meet them! Such was the case with our trip to Istanbul, where we managed to see some of our favourite people, who had all planned to visit Turkey for a sailing-slash-exploration trip. Originally, we didn’t realise we’d be stuffing our faces with honey-pistachio-cranberry-pomegranate-Turkish-delight amazingness so soon into our trip, but wow, we’re sure glad we did! Our eventful few days began with a tour of Istiklal Avenue in Taksim, the busiest street in the new part of town, surrounded by buildings highly influenced by the Ottoman era. Besides the almost-too-large crowd of 3 million...- 1
