    Traveling internationally can be an enriching and memorable experience, but it often comes with a hefty price tag. Proper budgeting can make your journey more enjoyable and stress-free. So whether you're leaving the States behind for an African or Asian adventure, or, like Chanel and Stevo you're thinking about more European travels, here are some practical tips to help you plan and stick to a budget for your next international adventure.  Tips For Budgeting An International Trip Set A Clear Budget Before you even begin planning, determine how much you can afford to spend. This overall budget should include all aspects of your trip. Make sure to set a spending limit for the following: Flights Accommodation Meals Transport Activities Emergencies  Research Destination Costs Understanding the cost of living in your destination...

    I’m going to start by saying that we aren’t experts when it comes to traveling with a baby. Due to our work (and life choices) we have been lucky enough to take Elodie on several trips, but there is still a lot to learn…especially now as she gets older and transitions from a baby to a walking toddler (which I am still in denial about). So I’ve compiled this guide based on the vast amount of research I’ve done – meaning I’ve read many blog posts, watched many reels, and chatted to my fellow travel-loving parent friends – and the experience we’ve had traveling with Elodie to 14 countries in the last eight months. I hope you find it helpful and...

    Last week we reached a ridiculous, we-still-cannot-fathom-it milestone. Whilst flying over Vienna during our South-Africa-to-Amsterdam flight, we clocked over 384,400km traveled since leaving home originally on March 2nd 2015. It seems like a random number, but according to science, 384,400km (238,855 miles) is the exact distance between the Earth and the Moon. Travel goals for a couple who left home to see how far from home they could go?! Umm, YES! It’s taken us 3 years and 7 weeks to reach the moon. Sure, NASA or SpaceX could do it quicker, but would they have as many memories as us?! And would they have learned as much as us? Ok...

    This week’s post’s goal is to inspire a little minimalism. Although we don’t shout it from the rooftops, we are huge advocates for living a simple, yet meaningful life. Since having our epiphany and giving up our work-hard-to-buy-stuff-and-then-buy-more-stuff life back in Johannesburg, to live a save-save-save-then-spend-on-experiences kind of life, we’ve had to adjust, and I mean really adjust. Besides the obvious things like furniture and house cleaning goods (because, well, we simply have no house for them), there are a few things we have actively and voluntarily removed from our lives, simply because we find no use for them anymore. So whether you’re living a 9-to-5 life like we used to, or you yourself are a full time traveller, we hope this...

    As originally seen on cerebra.co.za in a guest post. The creative process is an interesting thing. Everyone has their own methodologies, their own banks they visit for inspiration, and their own preferred times of day to get in the zone. Yet, as creative beings, we are all driven by this need to create; this need to make a mark and take what is in our head and put it out into the world. And, wow, it's amazing when it happens. Whether it's a new song we’ve written, a new move we've mastered, or new illustration style we've created. It's surreal when we see it come to life. Sometimes, however, we hit a rut. We get stuck and we don't feel the inspiration we...

    After being gone exactly 6 months, I feel it necessary we share the uglier side of our trip. Browsing through our blog posts and Instagram feed, it seems like we're having the time of our lives. And don't get me wrong – we are. It's bloody amazing. But it's not all ice-creams in the sun and pretty landscapes. Noooooo. So far, I think we've tallied 135 toilets scrubbed, 250 kilos of cow dung spread, 2 tons of rocks shovelled, 60 metres of pathway laid, 57 beds made, and I cannot even remember how many wine glasses we've polished. You see, to come from the luxuries we left behind in Johannesburg, to the brutal truth of volunteer work, we are now on the opposite end...
