ABOUT US

Dream trips don't need dream budgets
IMG_0216(1)_edited_edited_edited.jpg

We are the couple behind ZenGenXplorers, passionate about showing that dream trips don’t need dream budgets.​

Over the years, we’ve learned how to swap pricey tourist experiences for affordable alternatives without missing out on the magic. Now we share our tips, guides, and stories to help you explore more, spend less — and take the stress out of planning your own adventures.​​​

Budget travel doesn’t mean missing out. It just means making choices that keep the adventure alive and the costs down.

TRAVEL LIGHT, TRAVEL MINDFULLY

As part of how we travel, we also choose to buy and wear second-hand wherever possible. Travelling light, spending less, and being mindful about what we pack matters to us - both practically and ethically.

We occasionally share carefully curated pre-loved travel clothing in various sizes via Vinted, all chosen for comfort, versatility, and life on the road. These are thoughtfully selected pieces, given a second life rather than buying new.
