A world journey through Asia and South America

Hi welcome to our blog! We are Marlo and Tessa and will make a world trip through Asia and South America from January 2022. Before we overload you with all the ins and outs of traveling itself, let us introduce ourselves and tell you what the purpose of this blog is.

Who are we?

I am Tessa, 23 years old and from the Netherlands. Last August I graduated from university and obtained my master's degree in linguistics. A few years ago, Marlo came up with the idea of ​​going on a world trip. I have to be honest, I thought this was a pretty crazy idea. Traveling for a year? That seemed like something that wasn't possible. I always had the idea that I had to look for a job right after my studies. He finally managed to convince me to just go on this adventure and I am already grateful to him for that.

I am Marlo, also 23 years old and also from the Netherlands. Last year I graduated from university and obtained my master's degree in ICT and Business. This trip has been a dream for me for as long as I can remember. We have been together for 7 years now and have been through a lot, but a trip like this will be a whole new adventure. As you have read above, we both graduated not so long ago, hence the name graduated travelers.

Our dream trip

So in a year we want to see as much of Asia and South America as possible. But what else do we want to achieve during this trip besides the beautiful memories. In recent years we have saved enough to be able to make a world trip of a year. Our goal is to start earning money online along the way. So for example this blog, but also photography, instagram, etc. The internet offers so many possibilities to work without being at home or at the office. It is the first time for us to work in this way and it remains a bit exciting. That is why we want to keep you informed through this blog about how things are going and what works best.

Our goals

With the Graduated travelers platform, we want to convince other graduates to take a cool trip before they start working. The standard image is to do the second right after you have obtained your diploma. There is however so much more possible if you want it. With this blog we want to share as many must sees and dos as possible. Furthermore, we also want to provide information about requirements to enter a country, both covid related and standard measures. In addition, we want to share tips and tricks, based on our own experience. These will help you to travel through a country as easily as possible. But also to be able to work while travelling. This blog so must be a place where you can come back again before or while you go on a long journey. In addition to this website, we also have a instagram page where we regularly post beautiful images and other useful tips.

The ultimate goal of the Graduated travelers platform is to establish a community of graduates who like to travel.

Through this community, graduates can give each other tips, but they can also measure or even travel together. We will keep you informed about the progress of the journey and our goals. Thank you for reading our first blog. We hope to see you again soon!
