CURRENT MISSION ..... Blondie still studying Benni is scuba diving in Thailand ... [so no longer at the guesthouse in Penang] ABOUT US .....Hey ! we're pretty easygoing, love sharing laughs, food, and enjoy a good balance of downtime and travel adventures. [Benni] I'm a neuro-divergent abstract artist, into dadaism, and love soukous music. Spent my upbringing around Zambia, Zimbabwe, Spain, and sunny Australia Then there's Blondie – a non-typical Aussie, with a love for good food, deep dives into literature, and academic pursuit. She's got a poetic side and dreams of being a cyborg. Our philosophy? Keep things genuine, find joy in simplicity, and live life with a sense of freedom. That's us in a nutshell
