CURRENT MISSION

"Live, Laugh, Love"

ABOUT ME

We explore and share travel stories, we laugh and cook vegetarian meals, we teach yoga and meditate, we wander and wonder...

We love secret nature treasures, beautiful encounters, simplicity, life for what it is today and what it'll give us tomorrow.

We got married two years ago and that's a wonderful excuse to be on a never ending honeymoon and travel as much as we can.

PHILOSOPHY

"A great attitude becomes a great day which becomes a great month which becomes a great year which become a great life"

"Don't look back you are not going that way..."

If you accept that nothing is impossible then everything becomes possible!
