About
Nice to meet you, we're Noa & Gabriel
We're a couple who loves to travel. We had years of nomad life, and they're behind us. Today we spend most of our time at home: working, cooking and looking after other people's homes and pets. And in between, we fly, for short getaways in Europe and the occasional long trip.
Every guide on this site was written after we checked the place out ourselves, and every recipe came out of our kitchen more than once.

Noa
[Your role on the site, for example: writes the guides]
The dream started in 2010: pack a bag, a camera and a laptop and see the world, without waiting for retirement. After the nomad years it looks different, more home and more short getaways, but it's still there.

Gabriel
In charge of the kitchen
The first thing he ever baked was a pretzel, and it's still his favourite bake. Most of the recipes on the site are his, and half of them came out of the Ninja grill.

When we're not flying
Day to day: PIK Media
We spend most of the week at PIK Media, our agency. We're a strategy, marketing and AI agency for businesses: we help business owners build a strategy, market the right way and bring AI solutions into their everyday work.
We designed and built this very site ourselves, for example.
