Squirrels of the World


Join us on an exhilarating journey as we travel the globe full-time in search of the furry and elusive creatures that bring joy to nature enthusiasts and curious wanderers alike – squirrels! Our quest takes us to remote corners of the world, where we engage with locals and ask the all-important question: “Where are your squirrels?” Discover the diverse species, habits, and habitats of these charming critters as we share our thrilling squirrel-spotting escapades in ‘Squirrels of the World.’

We’re Pete & Kirsten (aka Cooper & Amity)

Six years on the road, thirty-eight countries, with various suitcases we’ve packed and unpacked more times than we can count. We travel slowly because slow is the only way to actually see a place, one month in a village until you know which roaster makes the good coffee, three months in a city until the map in your head starts to match the streets. Romantic Roads is where we put the pieces of the life we’ve built moving: house sits, night buses, borrowed kitchens, the specific loneliness of a Tuesday in a place with a language you don’t quite speak, the specific joy of a Wednesday in one you’ve started to. If you’re building something similar, or thinking about it, or just want to travel from your couch…come along.
