We are Birthe & Brecht, travel bloggers and food lovers. In 2015 we both quit our traditional job and left on a 1 year trip around the world. Having caught the travel bug, we’ve been travelling on and off from our home in Belgium ever since.
Wandering the World is aimed at people who love planning their own travels, just like we do. Aside from our experience we try to give you all the information you need to visit a specific destination. We even track all of our expenses so you know exactly how much things will cost you.
Another way we try to make your travel planning easier is by adding a map to all of our stories and having markers throughout the text, showing you exact locations. This marker shows you where we are right now, for example. Try clicking on it!
When visiting places we try to focus on value: we don’t have money to burn on 5 star hotels all the time, but won’t be sleeping in 20-person dorms either. We love experiencing new things and discovering the best a place has to offer. Whether that’s beaches, diving, hiking, bungee jumping, food or dancing, we’ll try it all.
So follow in our footsteps and start planning your next trip!

Visit our favourite places in the world
Hiking in New Zealand
New Zealand is probably our favourite country in the world. We absolutely loved hiking there!
Exploring the Australian Outback
You can't quite grasp how massive the Outback is until you drive through it. Just don't forget to fuel up.
Discover Laos
We love South-East Asia and Luang Prabang in Laos is one of those places that you'll remember for the rest of your life!
Get your adrenaline fix
The Adventure Capital of the World
Queenstown is amazing if you enjoy some thrills. We tried flyboarding, jetboating and bungee jumping and loved it all!
Learn how to dive in Thailand
There is an entire underwater world for you to explore. We discovered diving in Thailand and have been loving it ever since.
Eat your way around the world
An amazing 7 course lunch in Bali
We tried the Tasting Menu at Locavore in Ubud and were blown away by the deliciousness of it all.
The best burger we've had so far!
You might be surprised that our favourite burger in the world was found in Chiang Mai, Thailand. And yes, we did go back to confirm.
Go on a food tour with Bitemojo
We love food tours for exploring a new city. With Bitemojo you can go on a self-guided food tour in cities all over the world.
Go on a city trip
The Big Apple
There is no place like New York City in this world. It's a classic city trip and with good reason. You have to see it for yourself!
Looking for something a bit off the beaten path?
Why not give Timisoara, Romania a try. You might not have heard about it before, but we really enjoyed exploring this city!
Visit the San Francisco of Europe
Lisbon is one of our favourite places for a city trip in Europe. Plenty of things to do, delicious food and beautiful views all around.
