Who are You Me Under a Palm Tree…
Hey there! Thanks for visiting our blog!
We are Katie and Jack, a couple from England. Back in May 2019, we took a trip that changed our lives forever. We went to the Philippines for a two-week holiday. It was our first time to Asia, and we caught the travel bug. Every inch of us wanted to stay and explore but our 9-5 life back home in London was waiting for us. Since then our wanderlust has been slowly becoming more and more uncontainable, infatuated by culture, waterfalls, and simply wanted something else for our daily lives.
In February 2020 we were waiting to move into our first home together. Then COVID hit and we lost what we had worked so hard for. After many weeks of stress and not knowing where we were headed, we decided to leave the daily London life and take a leap of faith into the unknown.
We spent many weeks organising Visas at a time when it was very hard to travel… we booked a one way ticket to Bali and our new lives started. We left with only our back packs, no jobs, no future paycheck in sight and since then we have been figuring out how to live half way across the world.
Since then we have both found remote jobs and income, brought land in Bali and started to build! Now in 2024, we have our Bali Villa, 3 dogs, a cat and a whole life here we love.
THE START OF OUR INSTAGRAM
We started taking pictures during our travels in the Philippines and Sri Lanka and started an Instagram page. The goal with our page is to inspire people to live a colourful and creative life. To make people question to normal and think outside the box. We want to share our journey together in this world whilst focusing on being sustainable and doing what we can for our planet!
THE START OF OUR BLOG
We decided to start a blog to help inspire and to help you plan your next getaway. Katie loves to plan our getaways and we thought it would be great to share our travel plans and itineraries that we have actually done ourselves!
If you have questions, you can always send us a DM on Instagram or email us and we will be happy to answer!
We are just at the beginning of our journey, and we hope you will stick around to see where we go!
Love
Katie & Jack
