About Us

We’re Aydin from the UK and Caroline from Austria and fell in love in Krakow in 2015. Ayd was on a sabbatical and travelled Europe for three months on his own. Caroline worked at a university and was on Easter break when she spontaneously decided to hop on a train to Poland. Having underestimated the grim Polish “spring” weather, she checked into a dorm at Mundo Hostel with a bad cold after visiting Warsaw and instantly fell asleep, only to be woken up by a knock on the door a few hours later. After exclaiming three times that the door was indeed open, she angrily got off her bed and teared open the door, only to find Aydin’s puppy eyes staring at her. The rest is history, even though she refused to go out drinking with him that evening.

We started travelling together, from Czech Republic to Vienna and Bratislava, to Croatia and Bulgaria, meeting some of our closest friends on the way. When we parted ways in Bulgaria, we weren’t willing to let it end that way, so after a long-distance relationship for a year, Aydin moved into Caroline’s flat in Vienna. Ever since then, we have continued to explore the world and save up to be able to see more of it, and now we’re finally on our way!
