Our Story

We were both born and raised in South Africa, in completely different corners of the country, yet beautifully brought together by God’s plan.

Justine grew up in East London (no, not that London town 😉), and Tim was raised in the beautiful Hilton area. Justine studied Biokinetics (Bye-oh-kin-ET-icks — because “movement science” was too short 🤣), her heart has always been for people, while Tim pursued a BCom in Marketing. But his true passion began much earlier, when he picked up a camera at just eight years old and started seeing the world through a creative lens.

Our paths first crossed in 2016, but the timing wasn’t quite right. Then, in 2018, our worlds collided again, perfectly timed and we’ve been walking hand in hand ever since.

Our story hasn’t been without its challenges. In the midst of the global chaos of 2020, God opened a door for us to move to the UK. It was a leap of faith, we sold everything, left behind the familiar, and started again from nothing. But through it all, His faithfulness never wavered. What began as uncertainty has turned into a life of purpose and promise.

Travel has become a huge part of our journey. It’s where we see His beauty, in creation, in people, and in moments we could never have planned.

And that’s how TALU was born, out of creativity, curiosity, and a desire to explore both the world and the wonder of the One who created it.
