At home all over the world

From one adventure to the next

Julie and Moritz are spontaneous people and don't think twice when it comes to choosing their next travel destination. With their Maldives trip, as an example, they decided to go there entirely on instinct and even booked the flight one day before departure. "From one adventure to the next – always from the heart," is how they describe themselves. The two now share their experiences with hundreds of thousands of followers on the internet under the name "Sol and Pepper".

Spontaneity and a thirst for adventure run through the pair’s lives together. It began on the first day of their relationship, continued with the surprising news of their pregnancy, and then on to planning ahead of their trip. This all culminated with the couple’s departure – with baby Sol in Julie’s arms, the dog Pepper on her lap, seated in a 20-year-old caravan that she and Moritz lovingly christened "Rolf". Packed in their bag was all the savings that should last for about a year, and so began a new life, far away from everyday routines and everything familiar. "Just going and leaving everything behind,” says Moritz, “that was the best idea of ​​our lives."

Living the dream

Julie has been involved in photography since her school days. She perfected her skills while travelling, and now captures everything with her camera: the sunsets watched from the back window of her camper, the encounters with strangers who later become friends, little Solly's first steps in the sand, Pepper bathing in the sea.

For Valentine's Day, Moritz wanted to give his Julie something special, and so he put her most beautiful pictures from their first year and a half of van-life together in a travel photography book, permanently preserving these jam jar moments, as Julie likes to call the memories. He gave the book the title "Living our dream", written in shiny gold letters on the cover. It's a an accurate title, because the two really are living their dream. They also got married – quite spontaneously, of course – so this family is very much set for the next adventure.

A dream team – privately and professionally

On their first date, Julie and Moritz talked about their dreams of travelling around the world. In general, they found, so many things fit between the two of them. “Julie is a real power woman – that impressed me straight away,” Moritz remembers. Julie was also blown away, saying, "Moritz is a doer – I immediately imagined that we could do anything together."

"We are lovers, parents, best friends and business partners," says Moritz, who together with Julie founded the blog Sol and Pepper, along with an Instagram page which is now followed by tens of thousands of people: "We are simply a real dream team!"
