We are a couple that left the rat race and embarked on a one year journey across different cultures, societies, and people.
We decided to leave the corporate 9 to 5 wheel. So, we took our backpacks and began to explore step by step the world we are living in. To find, discover, learn more about the history, traditions, the who, why and what makes everyone smile, cry, and proud …. the things that make us different but bring us together.
Now, we are back home, searching and planning for the next adventure.

We are both nature enthusiastic. We like doing long-distance walks, different hikes in the mountains, some street wanderer through picturesque cities.

Alex is passionate about photography, maps, editing videos is a new skill that he is learning.

Denisa is passionate about theatre, linguistics, history, literature, philosophy, a little bit of art curiosity.

Teach, Learn, Share

Alex:

I am a escape room fan. When I`m traveling, I like to try one.
I would like to go with guests and people from the place I`m visiting, host or not. I found the puzzles exciting but doing them with strangers that speaks other language is more challenging.

What I Can Share with Hosts

a beer and a good laugh while eating traditional food
