About the two lost aussies
Get to know us
We are travel and outdoor content creators, freedom seekers and storytellers on a mission to inspire travel enthusiasts everywhere, regardless of their budget. Our goal is to show the raw and rugged side of travel, share our practical tips and travel guides while encouraging others to find their own path through travel.
We are both born and raised in Australia and met while travelling and living in Banff, Canada. Having travelled to 30+ plus countries between us, we quickly fell in love over our mutual passion for adventure, snowboarding and the wild side of travel.
We love travel that takes us off the beaten path, the travel that isn’t always glamourous and leads us to the uncertainty and puts us outside of our comfort zones.
To be honest we don’t have it all figured out, were Two Lost Aussies trying to navigate the unknown of travel and our goal is to bring you along with us and to share our honest, raw and real stories of life on the road and living for the thrill, while also inspiring you to see what this insane world we live in has to offer.
Our Mission
To empower others to travel and see the world despite their budget and fears. Were here to show you that anyone can experience the beauty of the world through our honest and real stories. Our mission is to break down financial barriers and the fear of travelling by highlighting creative, affordable ways to experience new cultures, landscapes, and connections. Through authentic stories, practical tips, and accessible travel insights, we aim to make the world a more accessible place for all.

Hello! I’m Tamara, and I’m excited to share my journey with you! Growing up in vibrant Melbourne, I moved to London at 18 for a two-year adventure. Over the past seven years, I’ve explored the world, living in diverse countries.
During the pandemic, I spent two amazing years in New Zealand, and most recently, I have been living in Canada, working the ski seasons in Banff, and traveling around many other areas of Canada and the USA.
During my time living in London, I traveled to many parts of Europe. I continue to make frequent visits back to the UK and Europe to visit friends and connections there. In 2023, I enjoyed four months in Barcelona, working with a festival-focused company and immersing myself in Spanish culture and the surrounding countries and islands of Spain.
I’m traveling across Asia with Josh, working on our travel blog and personal brand, and building The Two Lost Aussies to inspire others to pursue their travel dreams through engaging content, collaborations, and community connections. Join us as we share our adventures! You can find me working behind the scenes, building our travel plans, itineraries, and guides, and writing blogs for this site.
I’m so excited to connect with you and for you to become part of this lost community!

Hi, I’m Josh!
I grew up in Sydney, Australia, and became a qualified electrician when I finished school. After realizing I wanted more from life, I traveled around Australia, spending a year on Hamilton Island and exploring the beautiful beaches. I then moved to the Northern Territory, living in a remote town with just 100 residents and no cell service or Wi-Fi, where I worked at a local resort.
After a few years, I moved to Canada for two years, living and working in Banff while traveling across the country with Tamara. My adventures have also taken me to various parts of Europe, and in 2023, Tamara and I spent a few months in Barcelona.
I always have my camera bag with me, capturing the essence of each place and directing Tamara for my shots. I am passionate about inspiring others to travel authentically and reminding them to do what makes them happy. Travel is for everyone!
