About Us
The story behind the travel advice, tools, and support we share.
Why The Postcard Dream
The Postcard Dream was created to make travel easier, clearer, and more inspiring for people who want to explore the world with confidence.
After years of travelling full time — from the Andes to the Outback, from island nations to mountain ranges — we realised something important:
Most people want to travel more, but they don’t want the stress, overwhelm, or hours of research that usually come with planning a trip.
That’s where we come in.
Our goal is to share everything we've learned (and are still learning) so you can plan smarter, avoid the guesswork, and create adventures that feel meaningful and unforgettable.
Get to know us better
We’re Elle & Ben — a married couple from the UK who’ve travelled to 70+ countries together and now share everything we’ve learned to help make your travel planning easier, clearer, and more enjoyable.
​
Before travelling full time, we both worked in demanding careers that taught us skills we now use every single day to support other travellers:
-
Elle spent years building a successful career in tech sales, developing a deep understanding of people, communication, and creating solutions that genuinely work for individual needs.
-
Ben was a leading Chartered Civil Engineer, managing complex projects that required precise planning, problem-solving, and keeping things running smoothly under pressure.
​
Together, those strengths help us create travel advice, tools, and planning support that are:
-
practical
-
detailed
-
reliable
-
and grounded in real-world experience
​
We don’t just share our travels — we share everything that makes travel easier for you: the shortcuts, the mistakes, the lessons, and the tips we’ve learned across six continents.
