The idea to travel the world came up in the year 2010 and they took about one year to plan it all out. After been saving up money for a few years, they finally decided to take on the road. They’ve added a mini refrigerator, a gas stove, mattresses to sleep and utensils to cook. They look for a secluded spot to park their vehicle and start camping, from sleeping to cooking they do it all by themselves. Which is why Emilie and Damien prefer living in the countryside and not in hotels, they want to explore the wild terrains, the lesser known places that most popular tourist spots don’t offer.
