Meet George & Alex – Your 9–5 Travel Guides

We’re not full-time travelers. We don’t live out of backpacks or bounce from country to country for months at a time. We work 9–5 jobs, juggle annual leave, and make the most of long weekends and vacation days. If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

This blog is for people who love to travel—but have to plan around real life. Instead of staying in one spot for weeks, we dive into countries on the clock. Think: 12 days across the Western Cape, not 3 months in Cape Town. We focus on smart itineraries, immersive experiences, and how to see more in less time.

Other blogs show you how to live on the road. We show you how to hit the road without leaving your life behind
