Nomad life and adventures

Welcome to the travel site of a Finnish nomad couple, that has been traveling the world full time since 2017. With our travel stories we want to inspire people to travel independently and with an open mind, and to see the wonderful world also off the beaten path. We write destination guides and also open up the financial side of digital nomad life, sharing all our expenses to prove that traveling the world for long-term can be done with low budget. We work location independently, and often stay a bit longer in one location, doing house- and pet-sitting. When not working, we enjoy hitting the hiking trails and running, as well as learning about local wines and craft beers. We have traveled more than 80 countries so far, out of which 58 already before the full-time nomad life.

For obvious reasons, the world hasn’t been the same lately, and all this has limited the life on the road. During the past couple of years we have stayed put more than usually, but have also made road trips in Europe. The blog has been quiet lately, but more stories about our travels will follow! Dive in the blog and find next destinations for your next travels (when the time is right), and maybe even inspiration to make a longer trip around the world, or to start your own journey as a digital nomad some day!
