Svenja and Peter met in 2010 during a semester abroad in Budapest and have been exploring the world together ever since. With a self-converted campervan, they traveled from Alaska to Rio de Janeiro. As backpackers, they explored countries like Australia, the Philippines, or Madagascar, cycled over the Hawaiian Islands with tents and bikes, and traveled with their baby on the old Orient Express route by train to Istanbul and Cappadocia. On their website "Work Travel Balance," they publish authentic travel guides and give practical tips. Additionally, Svenja and Peter give lectures about their travels and have written two books on the subject. They are now traveling with their daughter as a family of three.
