Better Travel Together

How do we travel?

We’re no average backpackers, nor are we luxury travellers. I guess we’re something in between. We don’t want a hard bed and we need a bit of luxury and decent food, but we also want to travel as cheap as possible. Katrijn came up with:

Comfortable travel for couples on a budget

This kinda nails it.

Why did we start BetterTravelTogether?

In Oktober 2017 we started our blog and Instagram account. Because we got engaged and decided we would go on a 1-year honeymoon to Asia and Oceania. We thought of it as our way of keeping our friends and family up to date. But that’s only half of the truth. We also wanted to generate an online income. Something we could work on when-ever we want and where-ever we are in the world. It will never be big money, but hopefully (in a few years time) enough to fund our travels (and the costs of the blog itself ;)). So far we’re not really earning any money with it. Unless you count the €5.23 Yentl has earned with Google Ads in the past 2 years from his various blogs.

How will we earn money with this blog?

You can read it all on our support-page.

What will we write about?

Whatever we feel like writing about. It could be personal stuff for our friends and family, but mostly it will be stuff we had to Google for a long time so others won’t have to.

Where have we been?

So far we've visited 40+ countries. Want to know which ones?
