About Us:

Hi - Bea, Pete & Kas here ッ

Welcome to Pack Your Bags! We are a little family that could. Years ago, when our son was still a bun in the oven, we knew that life didn’t need to be ordinary. Life could be a grand adventure. We believed in our dreams and neither the naysayers nor our serious inner voices could have stopped us. And today, we live in the south of France, work online, travel often and, like in the photo above, occasionally even find ourselves skiing in Africa. We can’t imagine living a “regular” nine-to-five life ever again. In this blog, we write about our passions - travel, living abroad and working as digital nomads. For more about us and what you’ll find on our blog, click here.
