JOURNEYS
"Travelling - it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller",
by Ibn Battuta.
Our journeys are bold and ambitious, and perhaps the flagship of this homepage.
Although we are also trekking and island nerds, our journeys are sorts of trailblazing travel expeditions which are unique, challenging and adventurous, and thus they epitomize our spirit within adventure.
Often, the regions, countries and places we visit during our journeys take on an exotic quality. What matters is to get away from the established routes and seek something that little bit more special and authentic. Often, we might have to overcome a bit of hardship and logistical challenges since our journeys most often don’t run smoothly. This is all part of the fun.
In our view, a journey is something you would recommend to others. To us, what really matters, is to get away from the established routes and seek something that little bit more special and authentic. We are not talking about the ultimate expedition, but to move away from the familiar, out of the comfort zone, where everyday situations and events take on an exotic quality.

ENCOUNTERS
"Although the road may be dangerous and the final destination far out of sight, there is no route which does not come to an end: do not despair",
by Persian poet Hafez.
Our encounters are selected distinations that in our view are significantly attraticve for off-the-grid-travelers such as ourselves.
Traveling to these selected destinations have taken us through staggeringly impressive landscapes from endless desert dunes to snow-capped mountains, from glaciers to tropical beaches, but always in the background was perhaps the biggest asset of all these destinations: the people that live here.
So, these travels also include a varied assortment of cultural marvels, where dvelving into history and politics, much of it very recent, is very interesting.
