We are Julia and Brice, a French-German couple in our early thirties, living in Brussels, Belgium. In the last two years, we travelled to Thailand, Vietnam, and Costa Rica, as well as New York, and countless European destinations. In the summer of 2018 we decided that our 25 vacation days are not enough to explore as much as we wanted to and to take a seven months break from work in 2019 to travel around Southeast Asia. With a one way ticket to Hong Kong, we are excited to start this journey in March.
We hope to see you on our blog, Instagram, and Facebook!

This moment has been in the making for a really long time, as it’s been more or less 5 months since we announced our plans at our workplaces and preparations could officially begin. A few days before we left, we were quite surprised as… Continue reading Packing list for 7 months in Southeast Asia
