Our travels

This adventure started early 2014 when we bought two motorcycles and went on a road trip to Mongolia. We ended our rent, sold all our stuff and have been living a nomadic lifestyle ever since.

During our first trip we crossed 16 countries in three months. We called this photography project We Want Adventure. After that adventure, we lived for almost a year in Nepal and travelled to India (on several occasions), Australia, Myanmar, Malaysia and Thailand.

India has stolen our heart, as did the Royal Enfield motorbike. But the last two years we decided to explore other continents. We went to South America, where we drove through South Colombia, Ecuador and Northern Peru on two motorbikes.

Our last trip brought us to East Africa where we had an amazing adventure in Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya. We started our trip with zero preparations, but we managed to arrange two very old motorbikes and the culture, nature and adventure made us craving for more Africa adventures!
