Hello everyone!

We are Karen (Colombian) and Ruben (French-Spanish) a nomadic couple who travel the world by bike. We are passionate about nature, board games, Asia, food and especially meeting new cultures.

We decided to leave everything in 2021 to travel around the world for 2 years. This in order to be free to go wherever we want but especially to enjoy our life.

For the moment we already have done 6000km by bike across Scandinavia ( Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark). Then we went to South America for 9 months, this time hitchhiking. After a short backpacking tour in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, we are back on our bikes! This time we are going to discover the Asian islands starting with the Philippines, Taiwan, Japan and finally South Korea.

We mainly use bicycles and go camping. But when possible we like to meet people to exchange our cultures and our vision of life!

We both speak English french and spanish ^^
