Our Travel Timeline
• 8 min read
Our travel history starts quite shy, but since 2019 we've been spending more than 50% of our time away from home.
Let's start with the very beginning: our births. We were born and raised in Romania, immediately after the communist period ended. Although a democratic country since then, the former communist influences can be deeply felt inside the country today, especially in smaller cities. One of the biggest marks communism left on the people of Romania is the fear of traveling outside the country. This was something unheard of when we were kids. All holidays were made inside the country. People in Romania started traveling outside the country somewhere around 2005, but it was seen as something that only rich people can afford.
As a result we haven't went abroad until 2012 when we participated in a startup contest in Madrid, so it wasn't for travel purposes, and our trip was arranged by someone else, but it was eye-opening. Crossing the border was not something to be fearful of, and foreigners are okay people as well. Even so, we were too deeply involved in entrepreneurship and startups to also find the necessary time to travel abroad.
From our shy travel beginnings, we gone as far as doing over 10,000km roadtrips through Europe, crossing dozens of borders, driving through tens of countries, all in a single trip. We also attempted a journey around the world, but the coronavirus pandemic stopped us in New Zealand.
We have stepped on all continents of Planet Earth, including Antarctica, but we still have an entire world to discover.

🧊 Expedition to Antarctica
21 Dec 2021 - 5 Jan 2022
We celebrated New Year cruising on an expedition ship, on the top deck, in the Antarctic Ocean, near Antarctica. We were alone in this imense wilderness and it made us realise how crazy it is: celebrating a concept invented by people (called time), that for nature and all other living beings out there means absolutely nothing. Everything was still and quiet, except for us, people floating on a ship in the untouched nature of Antarctica.

Roadtrip to The Northernmost Point of Mainland Europe
1 Jul - 25 Aug
This time we left without knowing when we will come back. Our goal was to reach the northernmost point of mailand Europe locate at North Cape in Norway during the midnight sun. While people usually go to the touristy North Cape globe, the actual northernmost point is on the Knivskjellodden peninsula which can only be reached by a 19km hike out-and-back hike. We wanted to do this hike not by day, but by night hours, during the midnight sun.

2017
2017 was a bit more adventurous, we doubled the number of trips abroad compared to 2016. Looking back, 2017 was still a bit shy, but it seemed a lot with the travel experience we had back then.

The trip to Mallorca was intended to be a beach holiday abroad, similar to the one in Sicily from 2016. However, our desire to explore the world started to kicked in and we rented a car for the first time to travel around the entire island.

2016
Cefalù, Sicily, Italy
11 - 18 Aug
We then went to Sicily because we wanted a beach holiday abroad somewhere hot. We were still in our early travel beginnings so we didn't do much exploring in Sicily outside Cefalù. Today I regret not renting a car and exploring the island a bit, but at least now we have a reason to go back.
Prague, Czech Republic
15 - 19 Jun
In 2016 we traveled abroad for the first time by ourselves. We did our first city break in Prague, Czech Republic. It was like riding the bike for the first time at 26 years old. Full of fear and excitement at the same time, not understanding what the hell is happening.
