The Journey Begins…

Welcome to our travel blog! We are Madhu and Javier Avellán, an Indo-Venezuelan couple who share a common passion for travel. We are both IT professionals with regular daily jobs, which allows us to fund our travels. To travel is to live! Travel is not just about the places we visit, but the people we become in the process. We want to turn your travel dreams into goals. We will share tips on how to travel on a budget and make the most of every vacation.

Our goal is to inspire you to step out of your everyday life and take time to travel. As Jawaharlal Nehru said – “We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”

Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton

Thank you for joining us on this beautiful journey! We love to spend as much time as possible on our greatest passion – traveling, wandering around exploring new places, culture, food, meeting people and documenting our adventures!
