5 Months of Adventure in Southeast Asia

In 2018, we set off on an unforgettable journey—a 5-month backpacking trip through Southeast Asia. With nothing but our backpacks and an open mind, we travelled through six incredible countries, embracing adventure at every turn.

Our journey took us from the chaos of India (5 weeks) to the serene beaches of Sri Lanka (4 weeks), the bustling streets of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (1 week), the island paradise of the Philippines (4 weeks), the breathtaking landscapes of Indonesia (7 weeks), and finally, the vibrant city of Bangkok, Thailand (1 week).

We immersed ourselves in nature, food, and local culture, staying with locals whenever possible and keeping our travels as budget-friendly as possible. Our days were filled with sun, beaches, sunsets, long walks, and motorbike rides, all while capturing unforgettable moments through our travel vlogs.

We’ve already shared some of those memories, but this adventure was so epic that there’s still more to tell. Stay tuned for more stories, photos, and videos from this unforgettable journey!
