Two Travelling Aunties

Two Travelling Aunties

Two spirited Singaporean seniors ditch conventional living for van life, embracing adventure, newfound freedom, and the joy of living on their own terms.

Norah and Susie, affectionately known as the “2 Travelling Aunties,” are two vibrant Singaporean women in their sixties who have chosen an unconventional path—leaving behind city life to embark on an epic road trip from Malaysia to Norway in their overlanding van. This feature documentary follows their incredible journey across continents, capturing not just the physical miles they travel, but the emotional distance they’ve covered in choosing freedom over fear.

As they share their adventures on social media, their followers get a candid, often humorous glimpse into van life—the joys, the challenges, and the quiet moments in between. But beneath the light-hearted posts is a deeper, more poignant story. Norah and Susie are not just travel companions—they are life partners who have quietly weathered decades of societal judgment. As queer women in conservative Singapore, their journey is one of resilience, courage, and love hard-won.

Two Travelling Aunties isn’t just a road movie—it’s a story of self-discovery, belonging, and the act of living life on your own terms. It’s a celebration of authenticity, companionship, and the freedom to embrace joy, wherever the road may lead.
