Description

After feeding the corporate machine for more than six years it is time for a new adventure. Fabienne has been working for a large bank in FX trading and Simon used to work as an IT consultant at a large, international consulting firm. In June 2024 we started the adventure of our lifetime: traveling Africa. The first four months we spend backpacking and volunteering in East Africa. Since November 2024 we are traveling Southern Africa in a roof top tent car.

We love to get to know different countries, cultures, people and wildlife.
