Anna & Tom

Das sind wir

We are Anna and Tom – two adventurers with a camera in our backpack, a heart full of wanderlust, and a deep passion for traveling, photography, and discovering new places.

Together, we explore the world – always on the lookout for breathtaking landscapes, exciting road trips and camping adventures, as well as unique travel experiences far from the typical tourist paths.

Nothing excites us more than diving into foreign cultures, discovering the diversity of our planet, and collecting stories along the way that stay with us forever. In the end, it’s the memories – those little, genuine moments in between – that we look back on with a smile, moments money can’t buy.

A sunrise in the mountains, a laugh in the rain, a quiet gaze out to sea. It’s exactly these moments that make a trip unforgettable and give us that special feeling of freedom.

We love variety: Sometimes we’re drawn to wild, untouched landscapes where we can unwind in nature – other times to vibrant cities with exciting architecture, cozy cafés, and little surprises around every corner.

A loyal companion on many of our trips is our Jeep Wrangler with a rooftop tent – our little home on four wheels. It gives us the freedom to be spontaneous, to just hit the road and stop wherever we like. This flexibility allows us to follow our instincts. Most mornings, we have no idea where we’ll sleep at night – and that’s exactly what we love about it.

We travel because it makes us happy. Because we’re curious, we love discovering new things – and because we believe life is too short to keep postponing your dreams.

Traveling helps us broaden our horizons and leave everyday stress behind. It shows us what really matters in life and that we often need far less than we think. It pushes us out of our comfort zone and straight into real adventure.

This is the passion we want to share. We want to encourage you to write your own story – whether it’s on the other side of the world or just around the corner. Because every journey begins with the first step.

Our loyal companion

Who does what?

Tom is the creative mind behind the camera and responsible for everything visual. He takes photos, films, edits, cuts videos, and makes sure our travel experiences aren’t just told, but also brought to life visually. After all, a picture often says more than a thousand words. Along the way, he creates not only content for our channels but also commissioned work for our clients.

Tom is the one who always lingers a little longer at a spot – because the light is just perfect or because he hopes the sky will "get a bit more dramatic" any moment.

He’s also the one in charge of trip planning and organization. Before every adventure, he spends hours crafting the perfect route, scouting hidden photo spots, and making sure we’re in the right place at the right time to catch the best light.

On his Instagram channel @tom_rbg_, he takes you along on our journeys and regularly shares snapshots from our adventures – mixing adventure, everyday moments, and aesthetics.

And when the camera takes a break? You’ll most likely find Tom doing sports – either passionately in front of the TV or working out at the gym.

Anna is the heart behind our blog and takes care of everything related to website management. She writes, researches, and regularly provides you with new travel stories and our monthly newsletter.

She also handles collaborations and partnerships, replies to your personal messages, and keeps a close eye on everything running smoothly behind the scenes – from technical maintenance and website design to client communication and administrative tasks.

When Anna isn’t writing or working on the website, you’ll usually find her with a book in her hand – preferably reading nonfiction about faraway places, fascinating cultures, or inspiring people. Otherwise, she loves spending time outdoors – planting in our garden or going for little walks in nature.

Anna is also active on Instagram – on @anna_rbg_ she shares our travel adventures, little everyday moments, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of our blog.

P.S.: With our newsletter, you’ll always stay up to date and be the first to know what we’re up to and where our next trip will take us. It’s definitely worth checking out!

And here's how it all began:

After several hectic years in our jobs and pursuing part-time studies, we had planned a 6-month break for 2020. Originally, we wanted to travel through South America, but like many others, our plans were thwarted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Being resourceful and having gained some camping experience during our trekking tour in the Black Forest in the summer of 2019, we quickly changed our plans. We decided to rent a camper for 2 months and travel through Europe (as far as Covid allowed).

Ultimately, we had the best time imaginable: a varied break from the stressful everyday routine, self-determined, flexible, and traveling as a couple in the camper.

This experience made us realize that positive insights can be gained even from challenging situations. For example, an exotic trip isn't always necessary to discover new places. There are wonderful regions within Europe that we might never have visited otherwise.

The experiences and impressions we gathered during our journey can be found under the section "Our Europe Route" and under each country we explored (e.g., Slovakia, Italy, Austria, Slovenia).

... and how it continued afterward:

Since our return, we've been working every free minute on our blog, using our spare time for excursions, short trips, and long-distance travels to regularly introduce you to as many exciting destinations as possible.

... and here's how we've divided the various tasks between us:

2024 and What’s Ahead for Us in 2025
