About Us

We are Rarely at Home

Hi there! We’re Elke & James, a couple from Cornwall with ‘itchy feet’. We took the bold step of quitting our jobs in the summer of 2023 and booked a one-way flight to explore the world. In January 2024, Rarely at Home was born out of our deep passion for travel. Our mission is to inspire and empower others to transform their travel aspirations into real adventures by sharing our own experiences.

Meet Elke...

Having studied Spanish and Portuguese languages, my passion for embracing new cultures around the world has been a driving force in our journey. This enriching layer adds depth to our experiences, fostering connections, and unraveling the unique stories of the places we explore. Oh, and I have a deep love for coffee – you’ll often find me on the lookout for charming little coffee shops.

Meet James...

I would describe myself as a passionate animal enthusiast who, later in life, discovered a deep love for conservation and the natural environment. While exploring various corners of the globe, I stumbled upon a charming self-discovery: the irresistible urge to say hello to every furry friend that crosses our path during our adventures.
