ABOUT US
Hey there! We are Sara and Ryan – a European travel couple with a combined travelling experience of 10+ years across six different continents!
We met on a magical day back in June 2022 when we were both living in Indonesia as digital nomads. Ever since that fateful meeting, we have been travelling together across Asia, Europe and Latin America.
We have been documenting our travels on YouTube and Instagram on our individual accounts – but now the time has come to join forces!
So what can you expect from Across Every Border?
Our plan is to leverage our combined experiences and bring you the best and most comprehensive travel guides, tips and stories that you have ever seen or will ever need! We specialise in long-term, affordable travel destinations as well as travel planning and guides.
We usually spend a minimum of a month in the places we write about so we’re able to consolidate all that experience into our content to help you plan your next trip!
We love exploring new countries, trying new things and immersing ourselves in new cultures – and this is what we can offer to you! Whether you are planning your next backpacking trip, vacation or getaway, we will have you covered!

But what about before we met?
Well, Sara was born in a small village in Switzerland and never felt like she really belonged to the community there. So in 2017, Sara bought a one-way ticket to India and subsequently spent the next year travelling and volunteering across the country. It was during this Indian experience that Sara fell in love with exploring the world, immersing herself in different cultures and living a life of freedom – she had found where she belonged.
After another two years of backpacking through Asia, Sara decided she wanted to live the travel life permanently. So she set out to grow her own online social media management and content creation business so that she never had to work an typical 9-5 ever again – and she succeeded with her brand “Joyoushapes”!
Ryan followed a similar path, but in a completely different direction! After achieving a bachelor’s degree in Biology in 2017 (which he’s still never used…), Ryan decided that the world was too small to stay in the United Kingdom. After 18 months of saving and planning, at the end of 2018, Ryan set off on a new adventure in Australia.
From there Ryan spent the next year and a half road tripping across Australia, exploring the coasts and cities and working on numerous farms to save even more money. Throughout this entire time, Ryan was documenting and sharing his adventures on his personal Instagram account – and it was at this point Ryan fell in love with photography and travelling.
This passion would take Ryan to many different countries as he built his own brand. This culminated to the point where he would settle down in Indonesia at the end of 2021 with a dream to become a digital nomad… we think you can see where this is going!
