THIS IS US
Zoë & Olivier
OUR STORY
The world is our school
We are Zoë Agasi and Olivier Van Herck. Young, energetic and full of enthusiasm. We mark our own track on this earth, enjoying the quest to culture, nature, adventure and happiness. We Leaf. We left the regular duties like fixed contracts and a own house behind us and jumped into freedom. In return we got flexibility, creativity and time to develop our talents and knowledge. A wealth impossible to buy!
The goal is clear, the path is still unknown, but step by step we learn from every decision we make and come closer to living our dream. By capturing those moments with words and images, we want to show the beauty of our earth and inspire others to step out of their 'circle of certainty'.
VISION & MISSION
Dare to change!
People dream to follow their passions. Everybody chooses his own path and time to do this. For us travelling and discover the unknown is our ultimate way to find this path. We are wealthy with physical resources, but are captured in a world of obligations, anonymity and certainties. In fact we lack the real wealth in the world: freedom, experiences and time to meet new people.
The quest to our path brings us to the people and places that make this world a happy and liveable place. The daily news focusses on disasters, crises and ruin, the feeling good stories never make the cut. Our world is full of inspiring people who follow their dream and are happy doing this. With limited resources they make their world a better place, and learned to be happy every day. We want to discover the story behind those faces and give them the place they deserve. Together we change to a happy face.

FOLLOW YOUR DREAM
We travel because we love traveling, and think that, humanity in general, can go along perfectly with a healthy and fair environment. ‘Act’ is our answer in the transition to a sustainable world, where people make conscious decisions. We want to meet local pioneers and share their story using words and images. Little resistance is the start to a big change. Being real outdoor lovers, we want to show the beauty of the earth while traveling and be part of the change to a sustainable world on the same time.
We try to live and travel sustainable and we want to inspire others to make conscious choices themselves. This is why we start our world trip on the bicycle and will cross the ocean by sailing boat. We try to make a conscious decision every time, but also we love a piece of meat or ride a motorbike sometimes. This consciousness is way more important than a full sacrifice.

SLOW AND APPROACHABLE
We have an easy goal: don’t plan the trip, but let all the experiences and meetings guide the way. We want to be approachable and discover local people, cultures and nature. This is one of the reasons why we travel by bicycle. So far we stayed more than half of our nights with local people, which brought some wonderful experiences.
During our trip we want to contribute in sustainable projects, discover nature and feel the culture. We will always search for the positive elements in the story, not trying to mask the difficulties that we encounter. We express this with photo reports, travel stories and video’s.
