Who are we?
Arne
After spending 13 months completing my first around-the-globe trip in 1999, I went back to the Netherlands. I then got a normal 9 to 5 job as an urban planner.
However, shortly after I realized that it was not my calling and that there was a spectacular wide world out there for me to explore; mountains I wanted to hike, cities I longed to see, and oceans I dreamt of crossing.
Since then, I have traveled, worked, and done art and social engagement projects in 100 countries on all 7 continents.
Traveling is not the only passion driving me. I love photography as well and have exhibited my art in several countries, including the Queens Museum in New York.
I want to inspire fellow travelers with my diverse travel portfolio and captivating photos reflecting the beauty of our world.
Johanna
I am a linguist and teacher, fluent in 5 of the 8 languages I speak. I have spent most of my 20s living in Spain, China, and Germany, and traveling to around 60 countries. Currently, I work online as a content creator, translator, blogger, and teacher.
Alongside my love for languages, I am passionate about traveling, hiking, discovering new cultures, and trying diverse cuisines. Daily I share my knowledge and love for languages with my students. And as of 2023, I am also excitingly sharing my travel experiences to inspire fellow travelers and help them have unforgettable experiences.
