Hi, this is JR and Zen!

Travelling has always been a part of our lives.  JR’s work required him to travel extensively while Zen used to run a family business that involved local and global product development and customer interface.  Our earlier trips (mostly solo, sometimes together) have exposed us to different cultures and allowed us to meet interesting people around the world.

During the last decade, we’ve been able to travel more as a couple to various parts of North America and Europe for leisure. We had business-related trips to some of these incredible places before but didn’t really get the chance to explore. They kept calling us back.

Throughout our travels, we gained meaningful experiences and valuable lessons. We learned some of the lessons the hard way, but we have embraced them as part of our incredible journey.  We hope that our travel stories, ideas, and tips will inspire and help you plan for your next trips and adventures.
