My boyfriend and I (both from South Africa) quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and are traveling around the world since March 2015. We are both creatives with a strong passion for photography, graphic design, and travel.

Quit my dream job and sold my house, car, furniture and other belongings to travel around the world with my better half. It's been one crazy journey!
