Hi, we’re Julia & Kent

An engaged Australian couple backpacking our way around the world before we say “I do.”

After six years together (and one Eiffel Tower proposal later), we decided to press pause on wedding planning and say yes to something a little different: a year-long adventure. We traded save-the-dates for flight confirmations and set off to explore the world—one country, one memory, and one backpack at a time.

With 10 countries down and a bucket list still growing, we're capturing every step of this journey—through photos, video, and honest storytelling. Whether we’re hiking in the mountains, navigating night markets, or cooking simple meals in tiny kitchens, this is us, living out a dream before walking down the aisle.

Welcome to Backpacking Til 'I Do'—a love story told through travel.
