Steph and Pete
We’re Steph and Pete, an American (Steph) and Brit (Pete) who met the old fashioned way— in a bar in Shanghai in 2008.
Together, we’ve traveled to 50+ countries and have lived together in Shanghai, London, and Mumbai, though our permanent home is in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
In August 2021, we were selected from over 300,000 applicants to Live Anywhere on Airbnb for a year with our three-year-old son, Hays, and now we're trying to continue traveling as much as we can. We appreciate you following along.
Note: our YouTube weeks are usually posted several weeks behind when they were filmed. To follow along in real-time, join us over on Instagram: @stephandpete_

Our final video from our China series just went live! We're answering your questions, while embarking on a very nostalgic tour through Shanghai, where we met and fell in love in 2008. 🥰
Thanks for following along with us as we explored China! We will have a video from a separate trip to Guangzhou soon, another video from Yunnnan, and a couple of videos planned with my parents in December, so stay tuned!
And finally, a big thanks to Holafly for sponsoring this latest video. If you're traveling internationally soon, don't leave home without an eSIM. Find out more at stephandpete.co/holafly and use our discount code STEPHANDPETE to save 5% on all eSIMs, or 10% on Holafly's new monthly plans!

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: do 👏 not 👏 travel 👏internationally 👏 without 👏 an 👏eSIM! 👏
Don’t overpay for roaming or waste time hunting down a SIM card at the airport.
Our go-to is @holafly ➔ unlimited data, 24/7 WhatsApp support, customizable plans, and even refunds if your trip changes. Total peace of mind.
Use our code STEPHANDPETE to save 5%! holafly.sjv.io/GK3kJ9
Lately people have been asking me how eSIMs actually work, so here’s the 101 ⬇️
How eSIMs Work (super simple):
➔ Most newer phones already have an eSIM chip inside— no plastic card needed.
➔ Buy a plan online (ex: Holafly) and get a QR code in your email.
➔ Scan the QR --> installs the data plan instantly.
➔ When you land, just toggle it on in settings and boom, you’re connected.
➔ You can keep your regular SIM active for calls/texts while the eSIM runs your data.
