A WELL TRAVELED PAIR
ABOUT US
Hi there! We're John and Katie, a Los Angeles-based couple who loves to travel the world. We started A Well Traveled Pair in 2016 in hopes of inspiring others to travel. We believe that travel is the greatest teacher, and we hope each one of you can venture out and see as much of this beautiful planet as possible.
We've been to over 70 countries together, and after each trip, we were able to put together helpful travel guides for you. Check out our DESTINATIONS page and start planning your dream vacation today!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How can I prioritize travel?
A: Make a list of everything you are spending money on - rent/mortgage, food, gas, memberships, clothing, socializing, etc. See if there is anything you can remove or cut back on. Put that money aside in a separate savings account, and wait until you have enough for a trip. The more you prioritize travel, the quicker you will be able to save for a trip.
Q: What camera gear do you use?
A: We shoot with a Sony A6000. We also have a DJI Mavic drone.
Q: How do you take photos together?
A: We use a tripod and a remote control for our camera. A drone is also good for taking photos together.
Q: What is your favorite destination?
A: This is the hardest question to answer because we like so many different countries. If we had to narrow it down, we'd say Switzerland, Italy, France, Norway, New Zealand, Japan, and Hawaii are places we could visit over and over again.
Q: What about bucket-list destinations?
A: There are some places that aren't necessarily destinations that we'd visit over and over again, but they were quite amazing to see at least once in our lifetimes. Those places are the Great Pyramids of Giza, Petra, the Taj Mahal, the Great Wall of China, and Machu Picchu.
Q: What has travel taught you?
Katie: The main thing travel has taught me is the importance of experiences over things. It has also taught me to get outside of my comfort zone, appreciate the little things, cherish my health, and value kindness. Travel is by far the greatest teacher.
John: I feel exactly the same way. Travel has taught me so many invaluable lessons, and I may just add one more - we are all very similar, so let's treat each other well.
