A Shared Passion for Travel
Our first big trip together took us to Aruba and Curaçao. The following year, we explored the West Coast of the United States, and that’s when we truly caught the travel bug. There is so much beauty to discover in the world, and we love experiencing different cultures, customs, and languages. We share all of this and more on our blog, hoping to inspire you and provide useful tips for your own travels.
Favorite Destinations
We don’t have just one favorite destination or focus on one specific region. What excites us most is exploring a variety of places. We especially love destinations that offer a mix of nature, culture, and fun activities. Some of our favorite destinations so far include the United States, Peru/Chile/Bolivia, Japan, Spain, Italy, and Berlin. And if we didn’t already live in Amsterdam, we’d definitely go there for a vacation. As the Dutch poet K. Schippers once said, “I wish I didn’t live in Amsterdam, so I could go there on holiday.”
About Eugène & Lisette
Eugène is the founder and blogger behind Backpacking on Wheels. A true ICT enthusiast (though Lisette insists he doesn’t look like one), Eugène started his career at the once-popular social media site Hyves. Today, he works as a fulltime blogger / content creator for BackpackingonWheels.
With a mother from Curaçao, Eugène has a special connection to the Caribbean, where he also lived for several months.
Lisette is also the founder and blogger behind Backpacking on Wheels. She worked as an online communications consultant and moderator. Now she runs here own company COM & PLAY to help people to start their business. Passionate about the Spanish language, she finds joy in writing and thrives on new challenges. During her studies, Lisette lived in Peru and fell in love with Latin America while traveling through the region for several months.
We also travel with our two beautiful kids, Katie (4 years old) and Celina (6 years old). They share our love for exploring new places, and with Celina, we've already made many trips around the world.
