โSome believe in love, others believe in traveling, we believe in the magic of combining both!โ โ Honeymoon adventurers
Hello, fellow honeymooners and adventurers, and welcome to our travel blog! ๐
We are Carmen and Matic, a young married couple from Europe, Slovenia. Our story started when we were three years old and became neighbors and friends. After a long and complicated โThe Notebook-likeโ childhood love story, we finally got together. Since we had spent more than a decade chasing each other, we soon decided to get marriedโฆ to close the deal. ๐ First the insanely romantic engagement, then the whole wedding planning process, and pretty soon we bumped into the big question: WHERE TO GO ON OUR HONEYMOON? We took a map, opened Google, and started our research. We soon realized that itโs practically impossible to decide since our planet has so much beauty to offer.
While dating weโve already traveled to some European and Asian countries, so, this time, we decided to go to America. Mexico, Brazil, United States, Peru, Caribbean islands โฆ So many amazing sights and so little time, if we consider the average honeymoon duration, which is eight days, and which is also the maximum duration we were able to afford, being students with almost no money whatsoever. Hum, it takes us about a day just to get there from Europe and another day to fly back home. And weโre down to six days. Nope. That wonโt work โ not for us. My husband-to-be noticed my slight dissatisfaction and asked me: โBaby, how long would you like our honeymoon to last if we had lots of money?โ โSix months,โ I answered without hesitation. โSix months it is. Weโll make it work!โ he said.
So there we were. A couple of college kids with big plans and no money. For the next two years, we were working our a**es off โ three jobs, double shifts etc. People thought we went crazy. We werenโt crazy, we were just determined. The summer of 2013 finally arrived! The wedding was awesome โ just our closest friends and family, who all know each other, having a blast.

In July and August, we arranged all the necessary documentation (passports, visas, the mandatory vaccines), we bought two backpacks and all the other equipment, and well โฆ packed our bags. First stop: New York, last stop: Rio de Janeiro and all the breathtaking places in between. It all ended way too soon, but somehow it never did.
We came back home in March 2014, but home wasnโt home and we werenโt ourselves anymore. Suddenly everything was different. Yes, thatโs the usual traveling side effect, I guess. ๐ A restless creature was born inside of us and ever since we have felt this insane passion for traveling. Itโs like a drug โ we canโt get enough.
Over the years we have traveled to some pretty incredible places, weโve met great people, weโve witnessed the worldโs amazing wildlife, weโve eaten different kinds of food, weโve learned about various cultures and weโve definitely had our share of unforgettable experiences.
โTravel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life โ and travel โ leaves marks on you.โ โ Anthony Bourdain
After all those years, miles, and romantic getaways, weโre almost โprofessional honeymoonersโ and in this photo blog, we want to share our beautiful adventures with you. We invite you to check out our past trips and follow us on the ones yet to come. We will do our best to provide you with all the necessary information about different countries and places, about planning, preparation, and packing, traveling tricks in general, travel styles, and honeymoon activities, but most of all we want to inspire you to pack your bags and go write a romantic traveling story of your own. ๐
Update: What have we been up to?
Since COVID hit, weโve slowed down our travels a bit. Like most, we were initially stuck at home, but once the restrictions were lifted, we explored Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Spain, Portugal, and the UAE. However, we havenโt posted about these adventures yet because weโve been focusing on new passion projects. Curious about what weโve been up to? Check out 4HappyU to learn more.
Love, C&M
