    It’s funny how we usually have different artisti It’s funny how we usually have different artistic visions, but at the same time, when we go out and shoot together, we have like 50% of the same photos. πŸ˜…

This is a good analogy for our relationship, too. We’re somehow different and yet so very similar. It’s been over 7 years now, and we’re wondering β€” did we get even more similar over time?
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Our guess is: probably! πŸ₯°

    We're constantly looking for ways to improve our l We're constantly looking for ways to improve our life. One of those things is figuring out what is truly important to us among all the distractions life has to offer. 🀯
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Diana has been journaling for a while to achieve this. Writing down things every night filters out the noise and helps you get perspective if need be. It also holds you accountable to live your best life and helps to develop habits.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The process of taking time to journal forces you to focus for a moment or two and makes things somewhat more real.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Recently, Robin has started this habit as well. πŸ™ƒ

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The place is pure madness with 9+ stories and over 23,000 m2 fully stuffed with hi-tech equipment - including all the camera lenses and gear Robin could ever dream of. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
And everything could be tried on your own camera... he never wanted to leave! 😲
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This lens he tried out was an ultra wide 12-24mm, at 12mm. Super distorted but fun to use, apparently. 🀣

    By the end of our 6-month-long Asian adventure, we By the end of our 6-month-long Asian adventure, we were really missing the familiar things. 🏑
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Anything from coming back to a city we already knew (e.g. Kuala Lumpur), to staying in a hotel room with a kitchenette got us all hyped up. πŸ™ŒπŸ»
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Surprisingly, after being in Poland only for 1 week, we’re already itching to book the next flight to a new adventure! πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
We miss those moments when everything around you is exciting, and even a regular lantern in a side street seems like a perfect picture opportunity. πŸ“Έ

The wanderlust is real!

Life is somewhat of a big puzzle made of many pieces, like this mirror artwork in Tokyo. Even though we're still exhausted from the travels, we already dearly miss some of the places that we've seen. ❀

Diana’s birthday, building a base & more!

Firstly and most importantly, it’s Diana’s birthday today! Yaaaaaaay! Show her some love in the comments below! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‚πŸŽ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Secondly, we are slowly decompressing all the ideas and lessons of traveling full-time for half a year. There’s loads we learned that we will share on the blog soon. πŸ’»
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
We are working on the first post that will talk about the ups and down of traveling without a home base, which brings us to...

    If you've watched our stories, you may already kno If you've watched our stories, you may already know: we're back in Europe! πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Half a year after our departure, and after visiting 11 (!) countries, we thought it was time to slow down a bit and come "home" (whatever that means). πŸ™ˆ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
And even though we have just arrived, we're already looking back to some of our favorites, like the Novotel Lombok Resort & Villas. We had a truly amazing time there. πŸ₯°

    As the check in time for our flight back to Europe As the check in time for our flight back to Europe is getting dangerously close, we can’t help but to get a bit sentimental, and start summing up the last half a year on the road in Asia...
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Our goal was to figure out our priorities and learn about ourselves. And oh boy, did we learn a lot! πŸ€“
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
For example, now we are 100% certain that at some point of our lives we need to live in a villa with a private pool again! πŸ™ˆ

    πŸ’‘ Everybody has seen the orange gates from this πŸ’‘ Everybody has seen the orange gates from this place now, but did you know...
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β›© It's a shrine and it's called Fushimi Inari-taisha. Around 25 minutes from central Kyoto by train, or 10-15 minutes by car/taxi.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ† It's Japan's #1 tourist destination, with over 3 million (!) visitors over the 3-day New Year's period alone. That's crowded alright!
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ’΄ The gates are called "Torii Gates" and they are donated by the people. Apparently it costs over 1 million Yen (around 9,500 USD) to have your own gate.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
🦊 The complex has over 10,000 gates in total, and features a whole lot more of their iconic "Messenger Fox" statues. You can also buy small versions containing your fortune.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β›° Around the shrine, there's hike up the mountain, passing by some beautiful views on the way up. The full loop takes around 2 hours and we only made it half way up, haha! πŸ˜‚
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
We really liked it, and there's so much more to see than those gates. The first time, we arrived around 6:30 AM and it was already packed. The second time, we arrived at 5 AM and there were only a few locals.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The shrine is unwalkable from 8-9 AM onwards, when the tour busses arrive. So we would strongly recommend being there before 7 AM to have some time ahead of the big crowds.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

    We love rainy days in the city. There is something We love rainy days in the city. There is something magical about the faceless crowd hiding under umbrellas... β˜”οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Japan has been a very interesting exprience so far. After arriving in Tokyo, we're now in Kyoto and went on a daytrip to Osaka today. We have discovered our love for street photography, so there's a lot of photos coming in the next weeks! πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
When the skies open, they completely change the atmosphere of a place. A zebra crossing that did not look exciting at all during a sunny day, all of a sudden, when wet, got us all excited about capturing the mood.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Bad weather lets us cozy up in a favorite cafe or β€” more often than not β€” a hotel lounge, and catch up on projects that had been shelved until our days are not filled with discovering new spots.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
πŸ’₯ Do YOU love rainy days? πŸ’₯
