We are Filipino-Czech couple that met in Iceland, where we live when not traveling. We live minimalistic and simple life in the north of Iceland. (We currently living separately, Jesha in Akureyri and Jan in Mývatn). We do not possess any more than we can fit into our backpacks. To simplify, we hate the clutter of modern day lie and decided to free ourselves from it, and chose the “Greek lifestyle of camp bed & cloak.”
We do not smoke or drink, but we love to share stories from our travels and hear yours!

We are huge fans of philosophy, meditation and other practices, and John is particularly interested in ancient history, geology, astronomy and human nutrition. This usually makes for some great topics of discussion with others :-)
