who are we?

Our leadership

We are a couple of nomads who used to explore the globe. The day we stepped our foot on Balinese ground one thing was clear - we fell in love. We kept coming back every few months and understood that this is a love affair for a lifetime. We fully moved here in 2018 and been exploring the island ever since. We’re excited to share what we’ve found and show you this beautiful corner of the world.

“I’ve been traveling my whole life. My parents had a burning passion for exploring which I have inherited. It's no surprise that I was destined to meet Miller on my vacation on Hawaii. Since then we’ve been sight-seeing together up until we’ve fell in love with Bali.”
