Hi, I’m Ali and travel is my passion.
I believe our world has so much to offer, so many sights to see, so much tasty food to try, so many cultures to experience. I love to encourage others to travel, and I enjoy the planning aspect of travel as much as the trip itself.
Do you want to travel but aren’t sure where to start?
Are your fears holding you back?
Are you nervous about traveling solo?
Do you get overwhelmed with the details when trying to plan a vacation?
Would you like to travel with less stuff?
Do you have trouble determining a budget for your trip?
My goal is to help you with all these things and more.
About Us
I’ve been traveling since I was 14 years old, and I’m now living in Germany as an expat. I’ve been to over 50 countries, and I visited each of the 7 continents before my 30th birthday. I have over 20 years of travel experience to share with you, from taking organized tours to long-term solo travel and everything in between.
I often travel with my husband, Andy, who helps me run this site. Andy has been traveling for over 20 years, including many solo trips, several study abroad programs, and a handful of organized tours. He prefers to travel by train or boat, and he likes slow travel. He has been living in Germany since 2007.
