ABOUT
AN INTRO TO US
We are the Justs
We’re Meir and Chaya, the duo behind Casually Lost, a travel blog dedicated to sharing authentic experiences and budget-friendly adventures. Our love for travel began with a trip to Guatemala, a place Meir had first discovered during a chaotic, unexpected stay during COVID, and returning together a year later made us realize just how much we enjoyed exploring the world as a team. That trip sparked our passion for traveling as a couple, and we’ve been hooked ever since.
Traveling together has taught us so much about each other and the world around us. Whether we’re navigating public transport in Japan or exploring hidden gems in Albania, every trip brings new challenges and unforgettable experiences. We’ve learned that most people are inherently good, shaped by their own stories and struggles, and that connecting with others is one of the most rewarding parts of our adventures.
Our blog is a space where we share these stories, along with tips for budget travel and advice on making the most of every journey. We believe that travel doesn’t have to be expensive or perfect to be meaningful, and we’re here to show that even the smallest adventures can leave a big impact. Thanks for being part of our journey!

Our first adventure together, where we fell in love with exploring the world as a team. From vibrant markets to stunning volcanoes, Guatemala will always have a special place in our hearts.

WHY WE BLOG
The “Why Behind The Blog
Casually Lost started as a way to document our travel experiences and share the reality of exploring the world as a couple on a budget. Traveling doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated to be meaningful. After our first few trips together, it became clear that telling our stories about the highs, the lows, and the lessons learned could inspire others to take their own adventures. This blog became a space not just to relive our memories but to offer honest, relatable insights for anyone looking to explore the world.
One of the biggest motivations behind this blog is to show that traveling as a couple doesn’t mean breaking the bank. From navigating public transport in foreign countries to finding affordable places to stay, a little planning and a lot of flexibility can make any adventure possible. The goal is to break down the idea that travel has to be luxurious or meticulously planned. Instead, the focus is on enjoying the journey, embracing the unexpected, and finding joy in the little moments.
Building a community of like-minded travelers is also an essential part of this journey. Sharing stories, practical tips, and personal experiences creates connections and encourages others to take that leap, explore new places, and make unforgettable memories. Whether it’s planning a first trip or the next big adventure, Casually Lost is here to inspire a different way of seeing the world without stress, without perfection, and with a spirit of curiosity.
