Curiosity and Exploration
We don’t claim to hold the absolute truth, nor are we perfect. Our journey starts with an insatiable curiosity to explore the world around us. We have lived abroad, moved countries often, and learned from the people we've met along the way. Through this guide, we hope to share our discoveries, not only to spark curiosity but to encourage others to embrace new perspectives.
Learning from Experience
Our guide is drawn from personal experiences of being “expats” and frequent travelers. Each journey, especially our recent trip to Southeast Asia, provided valuable insights—both the joys and the challenges. We've observed how travelers engage with the world, and through trial and error, we’ve learned what works and what doesn’t.
Mistakes and Growth
We’re far from perfect, and this guide reflects that. We’ve made our share of mistakes, but they have taught us invaluable lessons. This guide aims to offer insights for travelers, both beginners and seasoned adventurers alike, to help you avoid some of the pitfalls we’ve encountered.
Looking with a Critical Eye
We’ve always been critical thinkers, constantly seeking ways to improve the world around us. We don’t just travel to see the beautiful sights but also to understand the challenges and disparities that exist. It’s hard sometimes to only see the good when there are so many things that can be improved, and this guide reflects our critical approach to traveling responsibly.
Collective Benefit and the Future
Ultimately, our goal is to raise awareness for the collective good. Whether it’s your first journey or you’re an experienced traveler, we want this guide to be a reminder that the future of travel is in our hands. Every decision we make—big or small—can leave a lasting impact. Let’s work together for a more thoughtful and responsible way to explore the world.
