Hello travellers!
We are so excited to welcome you to our travel blog, WithGoodMood.com. If you’ve made it this far, you’re probably eager to explore the world or at least looking for a corner filled with adventures, useful tips, and plenty of inspiration.✈️
Before we dive into our travel stories, we want to take this space to introduce ourselves and tell you why we decided to embark on this adventure around the world. We would love for you to join us every step of the way, so make sure to subscribe below!
Who are we?
We are Daniel and Xenia, a couple of travelers and dreamers with a passion for discovering new places, cultures, people, and… food, LOTS OF FOOD! 🍽️
But that’s not all, we are also lovers of technology, photography, and video (at least Daniel), as well as everything related to wellness, sports, self-awareness, and personal growth.
Living in Germany these past few years has been amazing, but we’ve always had the curiosity to explore beyond our borders. So, we decided it was time to start the journey of our lives.
Yes, we’ve decided! Even though it’s still a few months away, we’re already preparing everything to make this dream come true. And when I say preparing… we’ve been doing it for a while, even without a set date! 📅
When are we leaving?
For now, the date is not 100% confirmed, but we want to start in September in Spain, Daniel’s home country. 🇪🇸 There, we will kick off our adventure by visiting the northern part of Spain with our parents.
Xenia’s parents, who are German, will embark on a long journey from central Germany to northern Spain with their inseparable caravan. On the other hand, Daniel’s parents will travel from Madrid to Barcelona, where this mini adventure will begin. Both families will spend a few weeks together discovering places in Spain, and later, by October, Daniel and Xenia will begin our BIG ADVENTURE around the world. 🌍
Why did we create this travel blog?
The idea of WithGoodMood.com was born from our passion for sharing our experiences, keeping our loved ones informed, and inspiring everyone who watches or reads us to explore our wonderful planet 🌍. We know that traveling can be transformative, not only because of what one discovers on the road but also because of what one discovers about oneself by stepping outside the comfort zone.
Throughout our 7 years together, we’ve had the chance to take some trips ✈️, though always with limited time and the restrictions of our daily commitments. But now, we have the chance to go big. And we thought, why not share everything we’re going to learn in the process with all of you?
This blog will be the space where we document our journey. Here, you’ll find stories from our travels, tips for travelers (both beginners and experienced), personal reflections, and of course, amazing photos and videos from the most spectacular places in the world.📸

Sports and Movement
Traveling is not just about exploring new places, but also about staying active and healthy. 🏞️ Whether it’s hiking in the mountains of Nepal, doing yoga at sunrise on a beach in Thailand, or walking through a new city, we’ll make sure to keep moving.
On our blog, in addition to sharing tips on places to practice outdoor sports, we’ll also document our own exercise routines while traveling. We want to inspire you to maintain an active lifestyle, no matter where you are. So get ready to see plenty of photos of us exercising while exploring the world! 🌍
Why such a long trip?
A lot of people ask us why we decided to take such a long trip instead of opting for shorter vacations. The answer is simple: we want to have more authentic and profound experiences in each country. ✈️
A long trip will also give us the opportunity to step away from the daily routine, disconnect from worries, and focus on what really matters: the present, the adventure, and personal growth.
Join us on this adventure!
We know this journey will be transformative, and there will be tough moments, but also lots of laughs, discoveries, and new friends. On this blog, we want to share all of that with you.
