WELCOME TO TRAVEL EAT SLEEP REPEAT

Hi, it’s a pleasure to have you here in our little corner of the internet. We’re Lauren & Carl, but you can call us Laus (Loz) & Carlos.

PREVIOUSLY…

We used to live in the sunny, seaside town of Brighton, England but after both being made redundant in early 2021, we decided it was the right time for us to hand back the keys to our apartment and head off on our very own travel adventure.

We’re hugely passionate about all things travel, including food & wines, local traditions, tourist hotspots and lesser-known destinations.

We have been together for six years and prior to the pandemic, we travelled between three and four times a year, exploring as much as possible with our holiday allowance. We’ve checked off 10 countries as a couple and now that we get to do this full-time we’re hoping to see many more destinations over the next few years.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US

We’re not your typical backpackers/digital nomads, firstly neither of us has ever stayed in a hostel before and we don’t travel with backpacks, instead, we drag two mid-sized suitcases around with us, spending a minimum of two weeks in one place.

And to be totally transparent, our first 18 months of travel were paid for through inheritance. Instead of investing in our own home, we decided to spend it all on travel. We have stayed in lots of mid-lux hotels and apartments ranging from £12 a night (thank you, Thailand) to £329 a night (thank you, Ibiza). And spent a huge amount of money on eating at the best restaurants and drinking the finest wines, we’ve spent an equally huge sum on eating at the most incredible local restaurants and drinking cheap local beers and spirits, balance is key… I’m sure I’ve heard that somewhere.

But after nearly two years of full-time travel, we’re still not ready to hang up our flip-flops. Instead, we’ve spent some time creating a stable income for ourselves online. The wonderful thing about creating an online opportunity is that you really can work from anywhere in the world and that is exactly what we intend on doing for at least the next few years.
