The Journey is our Home
Welcome to The Booming Journey
We are Ella and Geert, two ‘bon-vivants’ who, back in late 2018, decided it was time to turn our dreams into reality.
It wasn’t just a fleeting idea; it was a deep longing to follow our hearts and completely reimagine how we live our lives.
Fast forward to the summer of 2020: we sold our house, said goodbye to our jobs, and embraced the unknown.
On September 3rd, 2020, we took our first steps into a new life—one filled with freedom, adventure and the thrill of discovering what is around the next corner.
Now, here we are, four continents, countless memories, and plenty of life lessons later.
We are excited to share our journey with you—the ups, the downs, and all the magic in between.
Whether it’s a tip for your next destination, a story from the road, or just a little inspiration to shake up your own routine, we’re here to bring you along for the ride.
So, are you ready to wander with us and explore the world with slow travel and in search for ultimate freedom?

Our Story
Ella & Geert
Since 2020, Ella and Geert have been on an endless love affair with the world. Our journey began with a longing for something different—a healthier lifestyle focused on travel, adventure, personal growth, and well-being for both body and mind. With no house to tie us down and no fixed location to call home, we have committed ourselves to this beautiful, unpredictable lifestyle with exploration, in search for ultimate freedom. Every new place is like the beginning of a great love story—filled with excitement, discovery, and the occasional plot twist. On the About page we tell you more about who we are and our Why.
