About Us

I’m Mark, a 25 year old guy from Ireland who lives for catching flights, discovering epic nature spots, and making new friends over a great local beer or cocktail.

And I’m Alba! I’m 24 from a small town near Barcelona. I’m happiest on a sunny beach with a great book, hunting down the best local food or snapping photos of everything we pass on our travels.

Hey, we're Mark & Alba!

We’ve eaten $2 street food for dinner and treated ourselves to a fine dining experience the next night. Somewhere in between is where we land: good food, decent beds, the odd splurge when it’s worth it. And we write for people travelling the same way: with a bit of care, a decent budget, and no interest in doing it exactly like everyone else.

This is where we put together the itineraries, the guides, and the honest tips, the stuff we wish we’d had before our own trips. We’re figuring a lot of this out in real time, right alongside you.

So grab your flip flops and join us!
