About Us

Hi! We’re Zoey and Alex. We just got married and decided to quit our jobs do something we actually love: travel!

Zoey 🇺🇸🇮🇹🇳🇮

I come from a background of communications and journalism, and so when deciding to take a year off our corporate jobs to travel, I knew that I couldn’t just take the time off and do nothing! Over-thinking and over-planning is my specialty so when we said we wanted to travel, I agreed to do it if we would go full-fledge into content creation. But, I don’t want to just “create content”, I want to provide you with solid information to help you travel more sustainably, as well as learn from the cultures we visit and share any knowledge we may acquire.

Alex 🇫🇷

I am French, and I was born and raised on the French Riviera. I grew up with a great love for food and gastronomy. As we travel around this next year, I want to discover new flavors, cultures and share everything that I try with you. I am hoping to become the best camera-man to film my beautiful wife on her travels. I have four adorable cats that will be staying home with my parents during our journey.
