Habibi, We are an adventurous couple from the Netherlands and Lebanon. On November 1st 2023 we decided to take a big sabbatical to travel all over Europe. Without planning our days, we are taking it one step at a time to see where our faith will take us. Our favorite thing in the world is going on adventures together, and now we are taking a big leap to do something we both love - traveling the wo

rld and living in different places. Our journey is not just about discovering new places, but we will be facing fears and uncertainties, but also enjoying life to the fullest. Because, well, the crazy decisions just make better stories. Trust us, you won't regret it ;)

I have been saving for a while and finally i was able to buy my girlfriend the new iphone 15. In this video surprised her with the new iphone 15 on Christmas that we celebrate it in the netherlands. It was really emotional she cried and i my eyes were filled in tiers. She deserved the new iphone 15 and even more and Christmas was the best time for it as we celebrate and enjoy family time. We left Albania to the netherlands to celebrate Christmas with Maaike family and in the future videos will be sharing more of albania and our trip in the campervan across europe.
Surprising my girlfriend with the new iphone 15 was one of the best surprises so far and it was heart warming ❤️

👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻 About Us:
Hi there, we're Maaike and Maykel, driven by a burning desire to explore, and a deep love for travel. Before our paths crossed, each of us had already ventured through several countries and continents — Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East, the USA, and beyond. The
world vastness keeps us endlessly curious, hungry to uncover new gems, embrace diverse cultures, and soak in nature's beauty.
2022: We both landed in the Netherlands after living for years abroad. Everything we'd built crumbled once we left. Maykel fled from Ukraine, and Maaike departed New Zealand due to a family emergency. With empty pockets we started to build something in the Netherlands, but quickly realized something was missing. It's easy to get trapped in routine, where working is priority and where we lose connection with ourselves and our deepest passions. Life passes by quick, so we decided to choose for a different path -no mortgage or a corporate job, but embracing life on our terms, making unforgettable memories. We value experiences over routines, for these memories define our unique journey.
2023: Traveling it's not a vacation. We want to dive deep into the heart of each place, making genuine connections, and feeling the soul of every destination. Our travel videos capture the essence of each country — packed with helpful travel tips, stunning drone footage, cinematic stories, and our personal thoughts and opinions.
2024: Our adventure kickstarted in November 2023 in Albania and evolved into vanlife. Vanlife embodies freedom on wheels, and we're excited to share this journey. The highs, the lows, and all the moments in between.
We might spark a little fire within you, encourage you to follow your dreams and celebrate life lived authentically. It's never too late to reshape your story. Sometimes, the scariest things lead to the best memories. And let's face it—if it doesn’t scare you, is it even big enough?
Our biggest dream? To make the world a better place. We want to help, support, and make people smile. We aim to be able to do something significant to truly make the world a better place, giving to people what they need and deserve. Giving back isn't just a thought — it's part of us. With small acts of kindness, we can create a brighter world. One day, we will make it big. Love guides us, positivity fuels us. Join us embracing the unknown and let’s spread some kindness together.
God loves you, and so do we. 🌟✨
