Hello! We are Rob and Masha and we’ve been traveling the world together for over 35 years, and are currently on the ultimate mission: to be the first married couple to visit every single country on Earth together. We are at 196 out of 197—with only one more to go!
In 2017, we walked away from the stress of the executive world, sold everything we owned, and hit the road with just our backpacks. Since then, we’ve used our years of travel hacking expertise to explore the globe in style on a real-world budget. We’re here to share our ‘tool box’ of tips, tricks, and adventure stories so you can start traveling Dancing Panda style, too.
Subscribe to our newsletter to get the ‘Dancing Panda’ toolbox delivered to your inbox—including our best travel hacking secrets, budget-luxury tips, and the exclusive update when we finally hit 197/197. Don’t miss the final chapter!
