About you
I am born and raised in Norway, but a world traveller at heart. I have been to about 90 countries and my list of new places I want to explore keeps growing. I am also a mother of 2 girls and married to a handsome Canadian man.
Why do you travel and look for adventures?
I am curious and love to explore new places. There are so many beautiful spots in this world, and I want to see as many as possible. I am an avid photo and filmmaker and the combination of travelling and shooting gives me so much joy and energy.
What kind of adventures do you look for when you travel?
That could be many things but I love nature and wildlife. I particularly love places with hiking, diving and snorkelling. There is something special about either being high above the ground or deep below it. Oh, and I love good food. A country’s cuisine is such an important part of the experience.
What’s your go-to travel hack?
My number one travel hack is to rent a car when I go somewhere to see as much as possible.
I also love to sometimes substitute my camera and tripod for a drone and explore a place for a different perspective. Of course you have to check the drone regulations for the area you are exploring before you go.
Also, I always bring a mini dual voltage hair dryer with me, just in case the place I stay at doesn’t have one. That’s my girly addiction 😅

Got any gear you can’t travel without?
My phone and my mirrorless Sony camera are always with me!
What destination are you eager to go back to?
I would love to explore more Greek Islands, more of Kenya and I would also love to go back to Japan.
How do you stay safe when you’re travelling?
I generally go to my place before 11 pm and always choose a hotel or Airbnb in a safe neighbourhood.
What’s the best way to experience a destination like a local?
Stay at an Airbnb and find small local restaurants to eat at. Also renting a car makes it easier to get to hidden local gems 💎
What’s your favourite word in another language?
Oh good one! Mmm… I love most words when said in French. It’s such a romantic sounding language. They even sound sophisticated when they are upset.
When and where are you next travelling?
At this point, I find it hard and overwhelming to plan. I am still waiting for my second covid-shot. I am travelling to Northern Norway with a girlfriend on a weekend trip in early August, but am dreaming of going somewhere warm and sunny in September🏝🏖

I’m from Hawaii and after moving to Portland for 4 years, have been living in my self-converted school bus for 8 months now. I absolutely love being on the road, I’ll do this for the rest of my life.
Why do you travel and look for adventures?
The world, and even just the US, is a big beautiful place. It’s worth getting out there every chance you get.
What kind of adventures do you look for when you travel?
Anything near water is a huge plus- lakes, rivers, streams. I love a good view, wherever I am.
What’s your go-to travel hack?
iOverlander app! I find so many of my camp spots there.

A good pair of boots. Always gotta be ready for an adventure!

Central Oregon, just the coolest damn place.

I often travel in a caravan with friends, but I always have a utility knife on me if I’m alone. I haven’t ever had a reason to use it though, thankfully!
What’s the best way to experience a destination like a local?
Talk to the locals about it. Your waiter or barista probably has some great tips on where you can find cool areas outside of really touristy things.

Voyager (“to travel” en Francais 😉)

I’ll be heading to Bend, Oregon in Sept for a bus life event called Descend on Bend.

About you
My name is Megan and I am 25 years old.
Why do you travel and look for adventures?
Travelling and adventure is a form of freedom for me. I love experiencing new things, new places and meeting new people. I love the excitement that discovering new places I’ve never before brought. It is such a privilege to be able to travel and go on adventures and I want to be able to experience life to the fullest!
What kind of adventures do you look for when you travel?
I like to switch it up between leisure and relaxation travel and adventure travel. I enjoy travelling abroad but lately have been exploring my home state of California.
What’s your go-to travel hack?
Before booking a hotel through a 3rd party website (booking or Expedia etc) check on the hotels’ actual website and more often than not, they’ll have a lower price listed. 3rd party sites like booking or Expedia charge businesses 15-18% for every reservation, so some hotels will raise their prices on 3rd party sites to compensate for these websites taking such a large chunk of money.
Got any gear you can’t travel without?
Anker portable phone charger
What destination are you eager to go back to?
France! I feel so at home there. I miss it
How do you stay safe when you’re travelling?
Just always be aware of your surroundings. I’m always checking behind my shoulder when walking places, making sure no one is following me out of stores, before going out I see what I have on me that could potentially be used as a weapon. Always make reservations for 2 so it’s not obvious you are alone
What’s the best way to experience a destination like a local?
By asking locals!! Ask shop owners, waiters/waitresses for their recommendations. before I go places I always google “unique things to do in *insert city you are visiting* here
What’s your favourite word in another language?
Pamplemousse (French for grapefruit) it’s so cute & quirky
When and where are you next travelling?
Staying local for now, I’ll be going to Lake Tahoe in California this fall. Cannot wait to get back to international travel, first place I want to go in Iceland!

About you
I’m Sandy and originally from Poland but living in the states for the last 25 years. My passion is travel and food.
Why do you travel and look for adventures?
Growth and experience. They always say travel is the best teacher. It takes you out of your comfort zone and throws you into the unknown.
What kind of adventures do you look for when you travel?
Everything. Everything that is outside my comfort zone. Anything from swimming in free waters with bull sharks to hiking an active volcano.
What’s your go-to travel hack?
I travel with only a backpack. So I use the neck pillow to pull out the stuffing and put my bathing suits and small clothing items in there.

My iPhone and tripod! That’s how I take all my photos
What destination are you eager to go back to?
Philippines

About you
I’m living my life one race at a time following the MotoGP world championship around the world as the responsible for public relations and protocol. I’m on a plane almost every week either for work or to see my partner as we have a long distance relationship (he lives in Italy and I live in Spain). When I’m not at a race track surrounded by motorcycles, I’m working on my side hustle – Hello Happy Skin which is based at home in Adelaide, Australia. I’m super passionate about matcha green tea and skincare and I try to care for my skin as much as possible given how often I travel, so I joined my two passions to create the natural skincare line that’s made from matcha! I don’t have plans to stop any time soon and take each trip literally week by week!
Why do you travel and look for adventures?
Nowadays I mainly travel for work but on long trips I always try to find unique destinations that I can easily get to without disrupting my work schedule. I look for these opportunities because I love to discover and explore places I’ve never been to and sometimes just to tick something off my bucket list. Travelling is the one investment that will make you better as a person. You learn independence, time and finance management, you can learn languages, you grow culturally and become more human by stepping out of your confort bubble to experience other ways of life.
What kind of adventures do you look for when you travel?
I love taking lessons of things that I wouldn’t normally do at home- like surfing in Mexico for example, scuba diving in Greece or hiking to Machu Picchu instead of taking the train that was much faster and easier. I like things that will challenge me but that are also unique or important to do in each country.
What’s your go-to travel hack?
Try not to plan everything. Obviously flights are important but apart from that take each day as it comes and see where you end up.
Got any gear you can’t travel without?
A fully charged power bank! Haha I hate when you get so into taking photos and your phone dies and there’s still more to see and do.
What destination are you eager to go back to?
I need to go back to Peru, Mexico and Malta!!
How do you stay safe when you’re travelling?
Use common sense…. Don’t go out drinking and partying alone. Don’t explore small city streets at night alone. Stick to big open and brightly lit places at night. Also if you’re alone, don’t meet up with a random guy you just met… always take a friend with you wherever you go. Don’t be too trusting of anyone you don’t know. I know this sounds like a bit of a downer when you’re travelling as you want to meet new people etc. But you have to be smart about how you do it.
What’s the best way to experience a destination like a local?
Try to get a bit “lost” outside of the tourist areas.
What’s your favourite word in another language?
Aburi ! It means flame grilled in Japanese … and it’s how I like my sushi ALWAYS
When and where are you next travelling?
Honestly I don’t have a plan, but most likely either Zahara in the south of Spain or Greece in the next week or so.
