About Us

For better or for worse…

I’m Ngoc and my husband is Le. Our lives revolve around our dream to travel. We both feel very lucky to have found each other to explore the world, taste new food, and experience new adventure.   

There’s no easy path to reach your dream. We knew that, and we did it anyway!

 We’ve decided that if it’s not our dreams that we’re living in, then there’s no better way of living! So we gave up our bachelor’s degrees and focused on travelling the world.

It was rough, dropping the incomes that we had, so we can find a better way to survive AND travel. Many sacrifices had to be made, many lessons had to be learned, and the balancing act is definitely not for the faint of heart. But let me tell ya… once that plane landed at our destination, it was all worth it! It’s not a picture that you see online or a story that you’ve read, but you’re actually there! Is it even real?? You try to take as many pictures as you can to show your family and friends when you get back, but the pictures are just not doing justice for the beauty and the experience that you had.

“Minimize the budget, maximize the experience” is our ultimate travel goal. Instead of staying in a nicer hotel, we would choose to stay in a “homestay” that is more affordable to us. (It does not necessarily mean the cheapest place, in a sketchy neighborhood with a nasty bathroom! That would scare us too!) Giving up that nice hotel, has given us a chance to experience “once in a lifetime” activities, such as rock climbing outdoors with a mountaineer, in Chile, or snorkeling through clearest water, in Iceland. OR we can choose to have a “once in a lifetime” hotel experience, such as spending a night at the glass-domed hotel, in Finland, to watch the Northern Lights dancing in the sky. There are just too many things to see!

With this blog, we hope to share with you our travel experiences, so you guys can go and see it for yourself! Don’t just live on a page of the book; there is the rest of the book, which you need to finish (and live)!

For those who just want to live thru us, Le and I just hope we can entertain you.
