Lisa & Pol travel the world

We spent 10 days traveling across India’s Golden Triangle — Jaipur, Agra, Delhi — and ended in Varanasi. We couchsurfed, got typhoid, saw a body in the Ganges, and lived the chaos of India on a backpacker budget…

By the way, we did land a collab with our travel insurance. If you're based in Europe and looking for an affordable and super responsive insurance, we recommend Chapka. We used them in Africa last year and again now in Asia because we were so happy with their service.

First days in India - Trying Mumbai's street food 🥵

Backpacking the Middle East and Asia#2

We spent 14 days in Saudi Arabia, trying to explore as much as possible without breaking the bank.
11 of those days were spent roadtripping more than 2,400 km across the country — from desert landscapes to mountain towns, big cities to quiet villages.

We relied on Couchsurfing, local hospitality, and spontaneous encounters to make it work.
This is not a travel guide. It’s a raw look at what backpacking in Saudi Arabia actually feels like.

Expect culture shocks, unexpected kindness, and a version of the country you don’t often see.

Backpacking the Middle East and Asia #1

Join us on an incredible 10-day road trip through the breathtaking landscapes of Oman! From the thrill of wild camping under the stars to the adrenaline rush of off-roading in the Sugar Dunes, our adventure is filled with laughter, excitement, and unforgettable moments. We took our parents along for the ride, making this journey even more special and sometimes a bit scary as we navigated close calls and hilarious mishaps.

Throughout our trip, we explored Oman's diverse scenery, from vast deserts to majestic mountains and stunning coastal views. We pushed our vehicle (and our driver) to its limits... This video captures the essence of our adventure, showcasing the beauty and culture of Oman and the joy of sharing these experiences with family.
