Hey there EXPLORERS! We’re Justin & Karolina

Also known as Ju-lina (Explores), a travel couple from the UK juggling 9-to-5 jobs with a shared passion for exploring the world. Do you know that thrill of uncovering hidden gems or that feeling when you find a breathtaking view? We can’t live without it which is why we want to help you so you can experience those “WOW!” moments on your trips too!

Here’s the thing: you don’t need to quit your job or become a digital nomad to explore the world. Balancing work and travel is not only possible, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. In this blog, we will share practical travel tips, insider tricks, and itineraries from our adventures. As a result, you can save time, money, and effort while planning your dream trips.

ABOUT US

Here’s little bit more about us. We met during the challenging days of Covid, in the brief window between the 2020 lockdowns when the UK still allowed travel. During this time, we both went on a group holiday to Turkey with our friends. Little did we know, however, that this trip would ultimately change our lives forever 🥰.

Once the world opened its borders in early 2022, we started travelling together like we’ve been trying to make up for lost time; we’ve visited 25 countries together and counting! 

Along the way, friends and family kept asking for travel tips and recommendations. As a result, we started sharing our tips and hidden spots on Instagram. While posting on Instagram was fun, we soon realized that we needed a more organized space to share all our advice. That’s how this blog was born: a one-stop hub to share everything what we’ve learned and help you make your own adventures unforgettable.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration, need advice, or simply want to follow along on our journey, we’ve got you covered. Additionally, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out either via DMs on Instagram (@julinaexplores) or by sending us an email at julinaexplores@gmail.com — we’d be happy to help.
