Backpacking Til ‘I do’

Backpacking Til ‘I do’ Hi, we're Jules and Kent — welcome to Backpacking Til 'I Do'! Let’s make some memories together!

Two backpacks, one big love story. ✈️💍
We’re chasing adventures across the world in 2025 before we walk down the aisle. Hi we're Jules and 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-lon

g 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.

9 countries 🌍
2 years engaged 💍
0 wedding plans made 🙈

But a whole lotta hiking boots, passport stamps, and happy chaos ✈️

We’re currently in Albania, hiking from Theth to Valbona and back again with two of our fave travel gals.

This trail? Wild. The views? Unreal. Our legs? Unsure. 🥾

Still figuring out where the aisle is… but we do know where the trail starts 😅🎉

🇦🇱❤️

This is what it’s all about ✨

Shoutout to Kent for driving on the wrong side of the car and road 🙈🙌🏻

From flour to fork 🇮🇹🍝
We spent the day learning to make fresh pasta with 360 Cooking Class — kneading dough, sipping wine, and laughing through the mess.
Who knew pappardelle & ravioli could taste even better when you make it yourself? 🍷✨
This one’s going straight to the memory (and recipe) book.
Save this for your Italy must-do list 💛

📍 Phra Nang Beach, Thailand

Soft sand, turquoise tides, and caves full of stories 🌊✨
We found a little slice of paradise where time slowed down — just long enough to kiss in the shallows, soak up the sun, and make memories we’ll talk about for years 💛
This is what backpacking 'til I do looks like...

Golden hour in Krabi 🌅💛

Barefoot, sun-kissed, and wrapped in salt and soft light.
If paradise had a love story — this would be it.

Bangkok, raw + unfiltered 🍜📸✨

Behind the pretty postcards and curated reels are moments like these — sweaty street food stops, chaotic tuk tuk rides, golden-hour strolls, and the kind of laughter that only happens when you’re totally in it together.

Here’s a peek into the real love + life behind the lens ❤️

🌍 8 countries. 4 months. 1 love story still unfolding.

From temples to tuk tuks, street food to starry skies — we’ve been slow-traveling our way through some of the world’s most breathtaking places.

Here’s a little taste of everywhere we’ve been (so far) before saying I do 💍

📍 Thailand – Street art in Talat Noi, golden temples & floating markets
📍 Vietnam – Ha Long Bay to Hanoi chaos & the BEST bánh mì ever
📍 India – Taj Mahal tour, markets, sunset bike rides
📍 Nepal – Everest Base Camp, puppy cuddles & peaceful moments
📍 Turkey – Balloon-filled skies in Cappadocia & Turkish tea with a view
📍 Egypt – Ancient pyramids, the Red Sea & horse rides gone wrong
📍 Greece – Island hopping, Sunbaking & feta in everything
📍 Italy – Pasta, piazzas, and falling in love with life (and each other) daily

🧡 Still travelling. Still storytelling. Still choosing each other — country after country.
