We’re Alia and Shawn – the husband-and-wife duo behind this blog. In 2022, we packed up our Vancouver apartment, squeezed our lives into a few bags, and set off on what we thought would be a one-year adventure.

One year quickly turned into two… then three… then nearly four. After exploring 50 countries and countless destinations, we’ve finally landed back home in beautiful B.C., Canada.

These days, when we’re not out discovering more of our own backyard, we’re busy turning our years of travel experiences into detailed, practical guides to help you plan your next adventure.
