About Us

Welcome to our travel blog! We are Sam and Daryoush, based in the UK, love to travel.

Here we share our stories, foodie adventures, and the travel tips we gather along the way. Keep reading to find out more about the people behind the blog…

Hi, I’m Sam! I’m British-Chinese and I’ve solo traveled throughout my 20’s and 30’s. Outside travel, my main passions are anything food related; growing, cooking, and eating! For me, traveling means taking a break from the norm, pushing myself to be brave, and learning from inspiring people along the way. I’m the main ‘travel planner’ and writer of this blog.

Salām, chetori? I’m Daryoush! I’m British-Iranian and I’ve been traveling for work for over 15 years, but it was never for fun. My main passions include motorbikes, DIY projects, and fixing broken electronics. I’m now enjoying travelling for the adventure and I’m making up for lost time! I’m the resourceful and practical one, and like to go with the flow.

While traveling we love to find our own way to discover hidden gems, to chat with locals about their daily lives, and (most importantly) to feast on the local food on offer.

Our aim with this blog is to ignite a sense of curiosity and encourage people to venture beyond what they are used to.

Our travel style varies. We mostly budget travel, but we do splurge if we feel it will create lasting memories. While we plan to stick to our budget, there’s definitely FOMO when we’re in the moment. After all, tomorrow is not promised, and money can be earned again! We’ll explore this more in the blog posts…

Join us as we navigate life as a mixed-race, 40-something couple with a strong desire to wander and explore the world. These days, we live in Manchester, England, and travel as often as we can. Our mission is to travel the world, with the possibility of finding a new place to call home (using the royal ‘we’ here as it is most definitely more Sam’s mission!).
