We’re Eli & Tom

An Italian and a Réunionnais, two backpacks and one shared goal: telling travel stories as we actually experience them.

Two nomads. Real places. No stock photos.

We’ve been living on the road since 2025, working remotely and moving with the seasons. Eli is Italian. Tom is from Réunion Island, in the Indian Ocean. Between us, we cover Europe, the Atlantic coast and the islands where Tom grew up.

We don’t try to make every trip look perfect. We share the real cost, the route we’d repeat and the mistake we made so you don’t have to.

What you’ll find here

Real itineraries from places we’ve actually visited, honest budget breakdowns, practical lists built after months of travelling light and first-hand stories from the Indian Ocean.
