Exploring the World One Backpack at a Time
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to get to know us better. We’re thrilled to have you here! Let me tell you a little bit about how Vanda and I, Toni, met and embarked on this incredible journey of backpacking through South America.
It all started on the first day after the COVID confinement. We crossed paths and instantly hit it off. Since then, we’ve become inseparable travel companions, exploring the world together one destination at a time.
Prior to our nomadic lifestyle, we were living the typical office life in multinational companies in Barcelona. But everything changed when we took our first trip together. We decided to walk over 200 kilometers along the Mediterranean coast, camping freely in nature. It was a liberating experience that opened our eyes to the wonders of backpacking.
Our adventures didn’t stop there. We travelled to Morocco and were invited to attend a traditional wedding in the middle of the desert. It was a magical experience that solidified our love for travel and meeting new people.
After these life-changing experiences, we made a bold decision to turn our lives around and embrace a nomadic lifestyle. We bet everything on our passion for exploring new cultures, meeting incredible people, and discovering the most beautiful places on Earth.
Toni’s Tale: The Adventurous Soul
Toni (32), born near Barcelona, has always been a lover of nature, philosophy, gastronomy, sports, and of course, exploring the world. As a Sagittarius, he’s constantly seeking new sensations and experiences that ignite his adventurous spirit.
At the age of 17, Toni embarked on his first solo trip to Argentina with nothing but a backpack. It was during this journey that he discovered his passion for psychology, which eventually led him to pursue a degree in the field.
Toni is not only a traveler but also a great conversationalist. He loves engaging in discussions about history, philosophy, the mysteries of the universe, or the complexities of human nature with people from different cultures. He believes that the true beauty of travel lies not just in the places you visit, but in the people you meet along the way.
Vanda’s Story: The Hedonist Explorer
Vanda (36), originally from Debrecen, Hungary, is a free spirit with a deep passion for cooking exquisite dishes and a genuine love for all animals. She finds solace and joy in the sea and is an avid scuba diver.
But it’s the simple pleasures in life that truly make Vanda’s heart sing. Whether it’s sipping a cup of coffee in the morning, gazing at the stars with a glass of wine, or engaging in conversations with people from diverse cultures, she cherishes every moment.
Vanda’s journey started at the age of 18 when she packed her life into a suitcase and moved to London, where she spent seven incredible years. She then returned to Hungary to study communication and media, but her thirst for adventure led her to Spain, where she stayed for another decade.
Living outside her comfort zone is where Vanda thrives. She embraces the unknown, seeking new experiences and creating lasting memories along the way.
