We've partnered up with global bike-sharing system Donkey Republic, and flight and accommodation search engine Momondo, to explore some of Europe's most esteemed cities, hoping to prove that anywhere, anything, with anyone, at anytime, is simply a bike ride away…oh, and that there’s no better way to explore a city than on two wheels. Follow along in what we have affectionately called our #TourDeDonkey. Our first stop: Copenhagen, Denmark The mission: Find the best cuisine Often coined as the "food capital of Scandinavia", it was no surprise to us that our friends at Donkey Republic made food the theme for our tour of Copenhagen. But wanting to make this a bicycle food tour like no other, we decided to put some rules in...
You guys may remember our Antipodes art project from a few months back...
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 wine farm hopping in Franschhoek, South Africa. Ah, Franschhoek. Just saying the name out loud brings all the happy feels inside. If you don't know Franschhoek (and no happy feels were felt whilst reading the last sentence), let me introduce you to one of our country's oldest towns (dating back to the French Huguenot settlement of 1688) and...
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...
Today, March 2nd 2017, marks our second birthday. Boom! Two years! That’s 24 months, 731 days (luckily we had a leap year) and a whole lot of experiences that will be with us forever. We currently find ourselves celebrating our homeless two years in beautiful Hoi An (more on Vietnam coming to our blog soon), but we somehow wanted to celebrate with YOU guys, our amazing community, because, well, we probably wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you! Yeah, we probably would’ve stopped traveling after one year like we originally planned, but no! We are here, two years in, with a global community of incredible, travel-hungry individuals. So let’s have a second birthday party – you keen?! The Creative Project Ok,...
There's few places in the world that are synonymous with paradise; pure, uninhabited, postcard-perfect paradise. If you say "Bali" to pretty much anyone, visions of sultry jungle-like resorts, crystal blue waters and endless cocktail menus (and/or yoga studios) come to mind. To some (mostly those stressed and tired of hustling city living), this is the perfect paradise. We mentioned earlier this week that there's mainly two ways to travel through Bali - either on the cheap (which we did for a few weeks) or you travel through Bali the way you'd travel if you were on an endless honeymoon, lounging around in exquisite villas, enjoying the ultimate me-time, down-time and sexy-time. We were fortunate enough to visit five of Bali's most Instagrammable...
Different from our usual just-the-two-of-us trips, we recently took a Trafalgar tour, for a group-travel experience of a lifetime. 10 days, 1 sensational country made up of 2 contrasting islands, and a collection of 39 strangers who have proven that the best part of travel is the people you meet along the way. The third city on our Contrasts of New Zealand tour was Christchurch. I remember when we arrived in Oslo in mid-2015, just a few months into our journey. I felt somewhat nostalgic, as the “slick architecture with globally-known brands plastered on top” reminded me a lot of home. When our Trafalgar tour stopped in Christchurch for a night (giving us just enough free time to mingle around the South Island’s largest city), I couldn’t help but...
As seen on The Huffington Post The festive season is upon us, and you will soon be bombarded (if you haven’t been already), with “Super Snowy Christmas Savings”. You may also have suggestions fill up in your feed of the latest tech gadget that your child or significant other simply has to have, urging you to part with your hard-earned money that you saved throughout 2016. You might also remember gifts you received last year, and maybe you feel some ridiculous pressure to impress that certain someone this time round? Well, we have come up with a fool-proof solution for being the most popular person on Christmas morning. It’s simple really...
Slightly different from our usual posts, and excuse me for going back in time a little, but I just have to share a portion of an email we received on February 16th (roughly 8 months ago) to set the scene. The email was from a young couple living in London; a couple who happened to come across our story somewhere online, and wanted to get in touch. Here is what it said: ...
