We were born to parents who loved going out to see new places whenever they got a chance and savor experiences, so the travel bug has been in them since their childhood. Today, we create memories of places together!

Whether it's backpacking or staying at a boutique hotel where we stay is dependent on the location for their views and their proximity to the activities that we are interested in doing, whether shooting dramatic scenes or being in the serene sounds of nature or animals. Since both of us have full time jobs, time management is very crucial to us. We make an effort to maximize our experiences along with photography so that we can explore the area long enough and not just make a quick stop at the scenic lookouts. Having realized that weather, season and time of the day changes the whole perspective of a place, we constantly keep going back to places. We seek to be involved in the wonders of nature unique to the location. Not only that, we love to try new cuisines native to the place. To optimize our available time we split location in two different categories:

Weeklong Trips: Our Ideal Getaway

Weeklong trips are our preferred kind of travel—they allow us to truly immerse ourselves in a destination, especially when the journey takes more than five hours by air. These far-flung adventures typically require a full day of travel on either end, factoring in flight times and the drive to and from the nearest point of interest. To make the most of the time invested, we love to book weeklong trips that span two weekends with a long weekend tucked in between. This format offers the perfect balance: enough time to see the iconic sights while also venturing off the beaten path at a slower, more intentional pace. Planning a weeklong trip is a joy in itself. It’s not just a means to an end, but a deeply engaging process—an educational journey where we dive into the history, culture, and seasonal wonders of the destination long before we ever pack our bags. These trips call for deeper research, uncovering both hidden gems and must-see highlights. But just as important is building in time for spontaneity, allowing the freedom to follow a local’s recommendation, chase a sunset, or linger longer at a favorite café.

Weekend Getaways: Small Escapes with Big Impact

In a world brimming with deadlines and obligations, the prospect of a weekend getaway offers a much-needed glimmer of hope—a brief yet powerful escape from the daily grind. These short trips give us the freedom to explore, unwind, and reconnect with the spirit of adventure, all within just a few precious days. Weekend trips are about making the most of limited time. That’s why choosing the right destination is key—it should be within a manageable travel radius, typically no more than five to six hours total, including flight time. Our ideal weekend escapes range from quick no-day-off getaways to those with two or three extra days tacked on, allowing just enough breathing room to soak in the experience. Planning for weekend trips can swing both ways: either carefully mapped out in advance, with must-see spots and activities locked in, or left open-ended with just a few anchor points and plenty of space for spontaneity. There’s something liberating about wandering without a strict agenda, stumbling upon local gems, and embracing the joy of unplanned moments. These quick escapes also demand strategic packing—light, flexible, and ready for anything. With time at a premium, mobility is key, and traveling light helps you move through your itinerary with ease. Weekend getaways may be fleeting, but their impact is lasting. They serve as a perfect buffer between longer trips, keeping the travel flame alive and well until the next big adventure comes calling.

Clothing and Gear Tips and Tricks

Also, we truly believe that “there is no bad weather, only bad gear” and since we have been roaming together since 2011, having visited 55 of 63 national parks of USA and crossed  the Arctic circle, cruised on the Peruvian Amazon, birdwatched in the jungles of central India, Andean rainforest, Yucatan and the African Savannah we have accumulated a good collection of clothes and gear to take us through all kinds of climates.
