About Us

Hi! We’re Lies and Ash, travel bloggers and photographers behind Non Stop Destination. Lies, a Belgian national, and Ash, born in South Africa, met in London while working on the movie The Hunger Games, Catching Fire. We’re full-time Visual Effects Artists and part-time travellers and have been exploring the world together since 2013.

Our first trip together was to Singapore and Bali. One year later, on a two month long holiday in South Africa, Non Stop Destination was born. We started documenting our travels and photography, first as a journal for ourselves, and now our goal is to inspire you to explore this beautiful planet.

Luxury Travel

We enjoy travelling off the beaten path, but we also love comfort at the end of the day. We particularly love unique boutique hotels and experiences as they add to our overall travel experience.

Luxury travel experiences
A stay at the Fairmont chateau Lake Louise in Alberta, High Tea at the Teahouse at Abkhazi Garden in Victoria and a relaxing getaway in the Hills of Levanto in Italy.

Our photography

Photography is a big part of the blog where we showcase our travel stories with a profound emphasis on the visuals. We want to capture the essence of the destination and transport our visitors to the place through our photography.
