The Passport couple

Thanks so much for visiting our travel blog! We’re Alicia & Nate, aka The Passport Couple. 

We like to call ourselves professional travelers or travel journalists since it’s actually all we do. We share all of our travel adventures on our YouTube channel, everything we’ve learned on our travels with all of our posts on our blog for your travels, plus you can get a goofy, helpful side of us on our Instagram account

A quick background to our travels: Our journey started at the beginning of 2020 (lol at the timing) when we decided to pick up and leave our comfortable little apartment in San Diego, California, to see the world. This meant selling everything we own, quitting our jobs, and leaving all our comforts behind. 

At the time, we both worked in hotels (that’s how we met!), and although we had a passion for hospitality, we like this side of hotel stays a bit more. We’ve since been to over 45 countries and now have a home base in Albania, where we stay for a few weeks at a time between trips! 



A quick legal note: our business is technically under the name Nathan Daniel Stark and we do business as The Passport Couple.

Alicia

  • Hey, I’m Alicia Walter!
  • Enneagram: 9 (wing 2,1) 
  • I was born & raised in Southern California and headed a few hours south to San Diego for college (so glad I did because that’s where I met Nate). 
  • I love to sleep and can fall asleep anywhere which is helpful for all our travel days. 
  • In my free time, find me reading, shopping, or hunting down cookies – chocolate chip is my classic go to!
  • I am the planner of the two of us and have all of our travels planned to a tee in Notion

Nate

  • Hi, I’m Nathan Stark, but most people call me Nate!
  • Enneagram: 7 (wing 2) – aka FOMO!
  • I can’t stand cold weather and grew up in Madison, Wisconsin (go figure). I moved out to Arizona and then to San Diego to ensure I never shoveled snow again. 
  • My passion to learn about personal finance allowed us to save a huge amount of our income in order to start this journey. 
  • All animals, especially dogs, are absolutely mesmerizing to me and some of my favorite parts of travel. We name all the strays we find.
  • I am constantly looking for ways to goof off and play pranks on Alicia (even if she doesn’t always want me to).
