Inspiration

This page is meant to make your feet itchy, to give you a starting point, or perhaps to push you to continue planning your next travels. Our annual Geney Awards, put a spotlight on our very own ‘best of’ lists for each year since 2018 that we’ve been nomadic, as well as a detailed peak into our packs at some of the indispensable travel items we’ve amassed after 4+ years of non-stop travel. We will also sprinkle in a few other posts which have inspired us in our journey.

Be inspired! And happy travels!
