ABOUT US
THE STORY BEHIND OUR ADVENTURE
We’re Aaron and Char, two people with backpacks, a dream, and a tight budget. In August of 2024, we traded our paychecks for backpacks and embarked on a one-year adventure around the world.
We’re from Singapore, and before this adventure, we spent our days in office jobs, saving as much as we could, and counting ourselves fortunate to be able to take this leap.
This journey is not about checking off a list of must-see spots, or hitting x number of countries. We want to see the world in a way that’s intentional.
Since we started this journey, we’ve been traveling on a tight budget, finding joy in the unexpected, and pushing ourselves to make the most out of this year.
OUR TRAVEL STYLE
Budget travel. Traveling doesn’t have to cost a bomb. From street food to local buses, we focus on the simple, authentic moments. We prioritise experiences over expenses, proving that adventure doesn’t need to break the bank.
Slow travel. We’re not here to sprint through a checklist of tourist spots. Whenever we can, take the time to soak in the place. It is not only in these slow moments that we get a chance to appreciate the little things, slow travel also helps us save (this often comes with cheaper transportation and accommodation).
Also, half of our time is spent working on creating content. While we’re on the road to explore, we also use our travels as an opportunity to produce videos, share stories, and connect with people around us. Balancing work and adventure keeps us grounded, productive, and always learning.
Travel light. Our lives are currently packed into a bag each. For us, less is more - more freedom, more spontaneity, more focus on the experiences. And honestly, when you’re watching the sun set over a foreign city or sharing a meal with new friends, you realise you don’t need much to feel fulfilled.
