Nice to e-meet you, we are Dan and Bailey and we are the creators and explorers behind this blog, Destinationless Travel.
We are a married couple with a passion for exploring the world, likely not so different from yourself. Our list of places to see around the world is constantly growing and there is nothing we love more than travel!
Although we started this blog as a hobby many years ago, it’s grown into something much bigger. We now travel the world full-time with one goal in mind – to help other travelers navigate new exciting places. In fact, we think in order to help you in the best way possible, we need to live a breathe travel as well as the destinations that we visit.
And, we do just that!
In our blogs, you’ll find up-to-date information and also helpful tips and tricks we have learned from over 9 years of traveling together (plus another 4 years before we met!) It’s our job to help, and it’s always been our main goal.
In fact, we have spent thousands if not hundreds of thousands of hours working on this blog as well as our other two websites, My Queenstown Diary and Costa Rica Travel Life. We also have a small team of travel enthusiasts who travel back to the destinations we have visited (along with ourselves) to get new photos, the latest information, and help keep our content accurate and fresh.
We’ve also temporarily lived in many of the destinations you’ll find in this blog in order to gain a better understanding for our readers. Some of these places include Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Patagonia.
We hope you find what you’re looking for and if not, we are only an email away.

How it All Started
We are from different corners of the world ourselves, Daniel is from Australia and Bailey is from Canada. Naturally, we met while traveling! Back in 2013, we were both on the same group tour around Europe, which is where we first connected.
After that, Bailey moved to Australia on a working holiday in 2014 where she reconnected with Dan. Together, they traveled around Australia for several months before settling into a home in Darwin with “normal” jobs (Dan worked as a welder and Bailey as an office manager.)
It wasn’t long until we got the travel itch again! We started planning a backpacking trip in South America and saved as much money as we could. Our plan? To book a one-way ticket and travel for as long as our bank accounts would let us.
On that trip, Destinationless Travel was born.
While backpacking around South America on our shoestring budget, we started blogging about all of our adventures. One thing led to another and the next thing you knew, our little hobby blog quickly became our full-time jobs.
Fast forward several years, and we have traveled all over the place! We have been fully nomadic since 2017 and spend all of our time discovering new places and writing about them right here for you!
We are Experts When it Comes to Travel
Like we said, we’ve been traveling full-time for 7 years now, so we have a bit of experience when it comes to navigating the world.
With that said, there are a few destinations that we know REALLY well, and you can read a ton about them on this site. These include:
These are all places we visit regularly, either to explore new cities and towns or to simply make sure our content is as up-to-date as possible.
What to Expect on Our Blog
On our blog, you can expect to find tons of in-depth guides about different destinations and attractions worldwide. Our content is ALL human-written, and regularly updated and fact-checked to ensure our readers get the most accurate information possible.
We know how important your travels and holidays are to you, and we want to help you have the best time possible (and the easiest time planning, too!)
We hope you find what you’re looking for and enjoy reading our blog articles as much as we enjoy creating them!

Why is Our Blog Called “Destinationless Travel?
We think the best kind of travel is endless or without a final destination. Travel is all about the journey, not just the destination. Cliche, we know, but it’s honestly so true!
As we like to say, “you can’t get lost if you don’t have a destination!”
What are Some of Our Travel Highlights?
We both had the most amazing time backpacking in South America. Literally, we still talk about it every day and are planning to go back. Somewhere between celebrating Carnival in Rio in Brazil, skydiving in Bolivia, scuba diving on San Andres Island, and hiking in Torres del Paine National Park, we fell in love with the continent.
That being said, we have had some incredible travel experiences all over the world. Off the top of our heads, some of our favorites would be:
- Hiking the Acatenango Volcano in Guatemala
- A food tour in Hong Kong
- Scuba diving in Tulum, Mexico in the beautiful cenotes
- Riding in a helicopter on New York City
- Bungee jumping in San Gil, Colombia
- Seeing the wild crocodiles jumping in Australia
- Hiking the Kepler Track in New Zealand
- Checking out the Perito Moreno glacier in Argentina
- Swimming with sharks in Fiji
- Watching the sunset on the Salt Flats in Bolivia
- Riding in a seaplane in Vancouver, Canada
Thanks for following us on our adventures!
