We are Sara and Alessio, a couple from Italy. In 2018, we decided to quit our jobs and leave home just to follow our biggest dream: traveling the world.

Our keywords about traveling are: Local, Slow, and Authentic.

Our goal is to visit as many countries as possible, get transportation by land and sea, and (if possible) avoid flights: we'd like to travel slowly and take our time, using public buses, trains, and ferries.
In this way, it's easier to discover authentic and off-the-beaten-track spots.

In our long journey, we'd love to meet new people and collect people's life stories.
For us, sharing is the best way to live and find ourselves!

After a couple of years traveling around South-Eastern Asia, passing by Eastern Europe and Central Asia, we're back in Europe/Italy in 2020 and bought a minivan to travel around Europe.
