Our Story

Hi, thanks for stopping by our little happy corner on the internet!

We are Dee and Rik, partners in adventure for over 14 incredible years. Our two greatest loves in life, apart from each other, are traveling and eating.

Ever since we got together, Rik has always planned the best of everything for the two of us. From the beautiful homes we have lived in to our vacations, he has an uncanny knack for curating the best experiences in every aspect of our lives. Whether it’s finding the most exhilarating adventures, the coziest Airbnbs with million-dollar views, or even the finest little details that make everyday life special, he is constantly raising the bar higher and higher!

And I am along for the breathtaking ride, while always strategizing what and where to eat. Food is the stuff my dreams are made of. I could talk to you all day long about ingredients and recipes and restaurants. It is not uncommon for me to be daydreaming about dinner while still at lunch. So I try to capture all the beautiful views and delicious food in pictures, and occasionally write about it!

During the pandemic, circumstances allowed us to embark on an unforgettable 2.5 year journey across the United States National Parks and the US and British Virgin Islands. We simplified our lives to fit into our trusty car and discovered the liberating power of ‘owing less’ and ‘experiencing more’.

Life made us put down temporary roots last year, but we are constantly plotting our next adventure.

On this blog, we share our travels, mindful living practices and a taste of the world’s flavors that have left us endlessly inspired.

Let’s TRAVEL.EAT.SMILE.REPEAT together!

Cheers,

Dee
