Hey, I’m Joel — a traveller, adventurer, and storyteller with an insatiable curiosity for the world’s wild, beautiful, and unexpected corners. I’ve explored places from remote desert islands to bustling mega cities.

For me, travel isn’t just about ticking off destinations; it’s about connection — with the landscapes, the cultures, and the people who make every place unforgettable. So if you’re here for honest, adventurous, and occasionally slightly chaotic stories from the road… you’re in the right place.

My Story

My travel story began at 18, long before I ever booked a flight. For years, I delivered newspapers before school and worked shifts in a supermarket, saving every spare penny. By the time I finished college, I had £6,000 tucked away — proof that a lot of hard work really does pay off. With that, I booked a one-way ticket to Australia and spent seven months living and working there. It was my first real taste of independence, and I loved every minute — from earning my own way to exploring a country on the other side of the world.

When my time in Australia came to an end, I wasn’t ready to stop. I set off on the classic Southeast Asia backpacking route, hopping between jungles, islands, and buzzing cities, falling completely in love with the thrill of travel.

In 2021, my life took a new turn when I met Emilia. Travel was always a big part of who I was, but now it became something we could build together. We decided to take content creation seriously — combining my passion for storytelling and her creative eye into something bigger than just personal memories.In February 2022, we set off on our first big trip together, flying to Thailand and travelling around Southeast Asia for six months.

 

That journey cemented our dream: to explore the world side by side. Since then, we’ve visited six continents and over thirty countries, chasing adventure everywhere from remote desert islands to icy mountain passes. And we’re only just getting started.
