Living with less

Why travelling made me think about minimalism

I’ve done it multiple times, living out of a a suitcase or a backpack for multiple months. It takes preparation and a lot of thinking and choices to know what to pack. But once you get the hang of it, it turns out to be pretty easy, both the packing and the eventual living out […]

About Elise

I’m Elise and To Rove About is where I share my honest (travel) stories.

I always loved travelling but the moment I got hooked was when I decided at the age of 17 to live abroad for 3 months. I ended up in China, where I tried to learn Chinese and had the best of times. I loved diving into another culture and I grew in so many ways.

I have been travelling ever since.
As a photographer and videographer, I have the urge to document what I see.
And as a journalist, I have the urge to write about what I experience.
‘Honest’ is a key word here, because in the world of travel blogs and all social media, I often missed honesty.

As much as I love travelling, it’s not always as beautiful and easy as it seems on Instagram.
I share the wonder of it, but I also share the struggles.
Every journey teaches me new things and I always go home with new experiences and insights.

We all wonder what life is about and travelling helps me to figure out my ‘why’.
I share my own personal search for happiness.
So that I might help you, with your own search.

Travelling keeps me present in a way I find difficult sometimes in day to day life.

I hope to take you with me on my happiest moments, while also sharing the difficult times.
