about us

We're Mark & Mim

We're Mark + Mim, the creative duo behind the award-winning travel blog The Common Wanderer.

We wanted to share our love of travel and adventure with the world, so in 2015 we swapped our normal lives for a life on the road and real human connections instead. Our big leap began with a one-way ticket to Singapore with only the bags on our backs, our DSLR cameras and notebook in our hands, and the tantalising promise of adventure.

Since then, we’ve explored over 40 countries together, hiked the Himalayas in Nepal, watched the sun rise over the temples of Bagan, run down Namibian sand dunes, delved into history in Europesafaried the African savannah, and explored ancient Cambodian jungles.

Since 2015, we've been commissioned by international brands and tourism boards including G Adventures, Air France, Swiss Airlines, Airbnb, Intrepid Travel, Atout France, Italy, Spain, Visit Sweden, South Tyrol, Faroe Islands, London, Visit Melbourne, and more.

We've also had our photography work published in Condé Nast Traveller, Gestalten's 'Wanderlust Europe' book, Broadsheet, Escape, The Telegraph, The Herald Sun, Daily Mail, and Urban List.

We're so excited to be able to share some of our travels through our eyes, as well as make the tools we use on a daily basis in our careers as photographers available to you now!

Thank you for your support of our small business, it truly means the world.
