This is Jess and Hai, life addicts who encourage personal growth through travel and new experiences. We believe that travel can be transformative, restorative and life-changing, and we want to help our readers do more of it.

We first started travelling together in 2006 and since then have travelled to more than 50 countries across 6 continents. We’ve done long-term backpacking, short getaways, cruises, hostels to luxury hotels, camping to glamping – all in the name of new experiences. Currently we are based in Tokyo, Japan.

We won Best Writing of a Weblog in the 14th Annual Weblog Awards and our work has been featured on Lonely Planet, NHK World, National Geographic, BBC, Singapore Airline’s Krisflyer Magazine, Intrepid Travel, Urban Adventures and TripAdvisor, along with articles in various Australian and international print media too.

Testimonial from Sara Robles, Social Media Manager of GoWithOh – Vacation Rentals Europe:

Jessica and Hai were truly a pleasure to collaborate with. They are full of creative and unique ideas like the “Photo a Day Project”. They take fantastic photographs and are always willing to go the extra mile, plus they are genuine in their work and are willing to share each detail and tips gained with their readers.

We had a great experience working with them!
