ABOUT US ALEX AND MIRIAM

ABOUT US

We are Alex & Miriam, two travelers that try to discover as much from this world as possible. We started this blog as a collection of our memories from the time when we traveled around the world but our journey started much earlier, in the years when we worked on board different cruise ships. We write about our experiences on the road and the things that we learned in order to make traveling more pleasant and enjoyable. Get to know us!

TRAVEL PLANNING

Travel planning is the process that will help you spend less money, allowing you to enjoy your travels more and make out of your journey a better experience. Let us help you organize the trip of a lifetime.

ICON MAP ARRIVAL

ARRIVAL
Arriving in a new country can be a bit confusing at first, but you can always prepare for it.

ICON BACKPACK

BACKPACK 
Why backpack and not trolley? Because for certain journeys a backpack makes one’s life easier

ICON CHECKLIST

CHECKLIST
Trips are fun when things go according to plan. A checklist is a good way to start planning.

Documents should be the first thing on your packing list. Make sure you know which documents you need.

There is much more to know when you plan your holiday or your big adventure. Come back soon and discover more of the things that we want to share with you in our travel ABC.

TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY

We like to tell stories with words, but we enjoy more capturing them in photographs. We believe that certain stories are sometimes better told with a bit of color :) Check out our gallery and let us show you the world as we saw it through the camera.

RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL

Traveling can be one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences in someone’s life, but while being away from home we should never forget to respect local customs and traditions and always act responsibly towards the environment. Read more!

RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL

Packing the necessary things for your journey can be stressful and tiring. We did a lot of packing and unpacking during our travels and learned how to make our life easier. Here we share our experience with you.

OUR STORIES

Here we share our stories, from the time when we traveled the world while sailing across the infinite waters of the ocean to the days when we decided to explore the world backpacking. Find out more on our blog.
