This blog started on a rainy Tuesday in Bergen, over a bottle of wine and a map of Southeast Asia spread across the kitchen table. We’d been talking about a big trip for years — the kind you save for, plan vaguely, and then actually buy the tickets before you can talk yourself out of it.
René is a software developer with a weakness for flight tracking and geodesic lines. Thea is a photographer who documents everything, often before René has finished setting up the shot. Together we make a reasonable travel team: one of us researches the logistics, the other finds the best pho in a three-block radius.
Why This Site Exists
We wanted something more personal than Instagram and more visual than a diary. A map that actually shows where we’ve been — not as pins, but as a path. Photos that carry their coordinates. A place where our families can follow along without an account.
René built the map with Leaflet.js and Jekyll. Thea fills it with photos and words. Every marker on the map, every geodesic arc, every EXIF tag in the photo modal — it’s all ours, static, simple, and hosted on Cloudflare Pages. No ads, no tracking, no algorithm deciding what you see.

We’re somewhere in the world with intermittent WiFi. If you want to say hi, ask about a route, or recommend a restaurant we absolutely cannot miss — drop us a line.
