That’s us, Nathalie & Sam. I bet you’re wondering how we got here…

Hi there, we are Sam, a born-and-bred New Yorker, and Nathalie, a Brazilian-Scot transplanted to Miami at the tender age of 9. In April 2025, we got married, quit our tech jobs and moved out of our beloved Greenpoint apartment. We've been on the road ever since, visiting 30 countries across 13 months and counting. The end goal is a moving target but one day, we’ll get jobs again and look back wistfully at our adult gap year. For now, we want to share what we’ve picked up along the way. A little home for our travels that anyone can benefit from until the internet implodes <3.
