About us 💓
Backpacking Til ‘I do’
Hey, we’re Jules & Kent — an Aussie couple who pressed pause on real life to take the ultimate adventure before tying the knot.
Jules is a qualified nurse with a background in admin and content creation, now trading shifts and spreadsheets for sunrise hikes and street food. Kent is an air conditioning specialist who swapped tools for a backpack and a camera (and turns out, he’s pretty good at both).
After 6 years together — and one unforgettable Eiffel Tower proposal 💍 — we decided to do things a little differently before the big day.
We’re not just ticking off destinations—we’re making space to reconnect, grow, and soak in every moment before walking down the aisle.
Backpacking Til ‘I Do’ is our way of documenting it all: the beauty, the chaos, and the love behind the lens.

Meet Jules
Qualified Nurse | Admin Queen |
Creative Soul
She’s got a heart of gold, an eye for detail, and a serious thing for spreadsheets and sunsets. Jules spent years juggling nursing, admin, and content creation—but now she’s swapping night shifts for night trains and rediscovering her creative spark behind the camera. Known for: carrying the medication and first aid kit, carefree nature and being the organised one in the duo.
"Since starting our travels I have really found a passion for photography "
Meet Kent
From tradie life to travel life, Kent’s gone from fixing systems to figuring out maps, border crossings, and how to capture that perfect shot. He’s the calm in the chaos, the muscle behind the backpacks, and the guy who’ll always carry the snacks. Known for: being chill in any crisis, camera geekery, and napping anywhere.
"This whole journey started with a ring, a yes, and a one-way ticket."

Quietly Hilarious
Together 💍
We’re two opposites that just click — one organised, one go-with-the-flow. We laugh a lot, learn constantly, and never stop saying "let’s try it."
We live in a cosy little tiny home on Kent’s family property, about 45 minutes out from Newcastle, NSW. It’s where we built our life, made big plans, and trained the most chaotic member of our family...
“Backpacking before our wedding was the best decision we’ve ever made (besides getting engaged in front of the Eiffel Tower)”
🐶 Meet Penny
Our fur baby and chaos queen. Penny is high-energy, endlessly cuddly, and living her best life with Kent’s parents while we travel. We miss her every single day — but she’s holding down the fort (and probably chewing on it too).

Let’s get lost together before we say “I do.”
