welcome

Hello! Here we are, welcome to our blog 🙂

We are Nat and Riki and live in NYC. We won’t say that it is the best city in the world, but we will say it is a wonderful place to live. We both traveled a lot independently before meeting in 2015 (Nat much more than I) and began our travel adventures 6 weeks into our relationship. Our trips usually pack as much in as possible, take us off the beaten path at times, and include just the right amount of luxury. Ok fine, we are always shooting for as much luxury as possible.

Nat is a photographer in her spare time and I’m an epic pre-travel researcher and planner. We have always wished to share our photos and itineraries. After so many requests from friends for recommendations and photos going unseen, we have finally decided to take a dive into the world of blogging. So, we’ve created this blog and our Instagram. Our intention is to share the beautiful things we’ve seen, and package up the research I’ve done to simplify the dozens of decisions you have to make when planning at trip. We hope our posts will help give you ideas and encourage people to get out and explore this great big world. Traveling will open your eyes and free you in ways you hadn’t expected.
