My life story was pretty simple until I went traveling. I was born and raised in Lithuania, after I went to study abroad in UK, London. After graduation, I worked for a year in the high fashion industry when I felt something was missing in my life. You probably know what I'm talking about - waking up in the morning and already looking forward to being back in bed. When I met my boyfriend, we were friends for a long time, and for as long as remember he was dreaming about leaving London and go traveling. I, naturally, got hooked up with the idea pretty fast and then we started planning our travels. He already had some savings, but my clock was ticking. I had 4months to save money for our travel starting from 0. I got 4 jobs and dedicated myself into money saving, sometimes working 110 hours a week. My opinion? It was hell, but absolutely worth it. I ate only at work, as I didn't have any days off there was nothing I could spend my money on apart from rent. After I started renting my room, often crashing at my friend's couch. You don't need to go that extreme obviously, but my point is if I did, anyone can if there is enough willpower!

We left the UK with absolute excitement. I took all my photography gear and was ready to capture all the beauty we could find. I'm teaching Marco photography, later he even started to retouch his own pictures, which is absolutely amazing knowing it took him a couple of months when it took me the couple of years haha.

We decided to find a job during our travels and stay in one place a little bit longer. We were offered an operation managers position in a resort in Koh Rong Island, Cambodia. We are currently living a beach life and planning to be back on the road in March. We are traveling with a motorbike and have to say its the best way to travel! Countless adventures and stories to tell.

Absolutely amazing! The pictures look so good. It’s a great High End example for me. There’s much to learn. I’m a photographer on the make so I have time for retouching images myself but no money yet for popular retouching services. Although fixthephoto.com and editouch have quite reasonable photo editing prices. These photo editing companies also has great tips and tricks for photographers on their web page, for which I’m very grateful. I hope I’ll soon be good at picture editing programs with the help of your articles!

    I used to do temp work in London so I could take time off between jobs to go travelling. I travelled a lot around Europe in my teens and twenties, often for 2 - 4 months at a time.. Then got a VW camper here and travelled more. Replaced that after 30 years with a small RV. I'm 68 now and this spring plan to go on the road again. Learned SO much, met great people and had an exciting life. I'm not giving up travelling till I really can't drive any more. The wanderlust never leaves.

    Somewhere In Between Koh Rong And Koh Rong Samloem, Cambodia

    After this picture was taken it started storming like crazy. We were soaked wet and quite terrified, after we got off the boat we still had to walk back to our camping spot for about 40mins through the jungles in the dark. It was so much fun apart from the part of nearly getting robbed by monkeys.
