About Our Journey

We left our lives behind to see the world together. Carrying just our backpacks and cameras, we set out to document every step of the way — hundreds of videos and over 150,000 photographs in all. From quiet streets to wide horizons, these images mark the places, people, and small moments that shaped our journey.
