CURRENT MISSION

To cycle around Belgium and the Netherlands!

ABOUT ME

Well, we are Emma and Luke.
We like bicycles, cups of tea and traveling, lots of traveling. We are currently on a massive journey through some of the countries we've been dreaming about for years. We love going to countries we've had preconceptions of and them being blown away.
Our trip is soon coming to an end, in about a month or so we will be settling in London.
