OUR STORY
Hello and welcome to our travel blog! We're Nora and Trevor, the duo behind Wanderingcapes. Our story is one of love, adventure and a shared passion for exploring the vast beauty of our planet. We come from different backgrounds, but our paths crossed in California back in 2013. It was during Nora's time as an Au Pair that we met, fell in love and started our journey together, exploring the West Coast and beyond. Our love story took us from moving to Germany, settling in Hamburg, getting married and embracing a life filled with travel across Europe. However, we always knew that our hearts were meant for more than just one place.
Driven by a deep-seated wanderlust and a desire for more, we made the bold decision to leave our jobs, sell most of our belongings and embark on an open-ended adventure, starting with a one-way ticket to New Zealand. This leap of faith opened our eyes to what we truly wanted from life and set the stage for our ongoing journey.
There is no doubt, we are in love, call it soulmates, we complete each other but we are not just defined by this fact. Being together has shown us that we are a kickass team that brings different strengths to the table. We cherish our time together, exploring the world and learning from every experience, whether it's a lesson in joy or a challenge to overcome. Our mantra is to keep learning, growing and stepping out of our comfort zones while exploring this beautiful world.
In recent years, we've navigated the balance between life in Germany and California, lived in Portugal and are now looking for a more permanent home base. The pandemic has taught us to appreciate a slower pace of travel, finding beauty and depth in staying longer and diving deeper into local cultures.
Along the way, we've learned that home isn't just a place, but a feeling we create together.

Our Philosophy
Our journey together began with a mutual desire to explore the world and over time, developed in focusing on slowing things down and immersing ourselves in each area we stay. We seek to truly understand the places we visit, connecting deeply with local cultures and communities. This philosophy has not only led us to breathtaking destinations but has also allowed us to create meaningful bonds and memories.
Health and fitness are big parts of our lives. We try our best to prioritize a healthy and balanced lifestyle, whether this means hunting down the best local farmers markets for fresh produce or incorporating plenty of outdoor activities. Our adventures often lead us to sunny destinations, yet, our love for variety and contrast occasionally draws us to the serene beauty of snowy landscapes – a reminder of the diverse beauty this world holds.
Embracing minimalism while not giving up comfort, we travel not just to see new places, but to discover new ways of living. Each destination teaches us something valuable about simplicity, sustainability and the art of living with less. This philosophy has not only lightened our luggage but also enriched our experiences, making each journey more meaningful and fulfilling.
