We're a Canadian couple that is dedicated to exploring new cultures and places. With that, experiencing the smells, sounds, textures, flavours, and the misfortunes that coincide. However, it’s the discomforts that really push us to grow and develop into stronger individuals. Whether it’s getting lost in a new city, being conned into a local scam, facing language barriers, or trying new food that is unrecognizable – that’s what travelling is about for us. www.heandshetravels.com
