Samuel Jeffery, known as Nomadic Samuel, originates from Gold River, British Columbia, Canada. After graduating from the University of Alberta in 2005, he embraced a nomadic lifestyle, balancing English teaching overseas with extensive backpacking. His passion for travel led him to create his primary website, Nomadic Samuel, to document his journeys. Audrey Bergner, known as That Backpacker, was born in Montreal, Canada, and raised in the Sierras of Argentina. She began traveling internationally before reaching legal age and has since explored numerous global destinations. Their individual travel experiences laid the groundwork for their collaborative work.

Samuel and Audrey’s paths converged in Itaewon, where their shared enthusiasm for travel and food became apparent. They connected over stories of destinations like Rajasthan and Mumbai, igniting a mutual desire to continue traveling together. This initial encounter led to a partnership in both life and work, as they began documenting their shared experiences across various countries. They are currently engaged in a hotel renovation project in an undisclosed location, indicating a new phase in their professional and personal journey. Their content focuses on travel and food, reflecting their mutual interests.

Their work has been featured across various platforms, including National Geographic and The Huffington Post, showcasing their travel photography and videos.
