If these photos don't spark your wanderlust, nothing will.

They were created by travel couple Danielle Zito and Fede Supital Terron, who document their epic adventures with breathtaking photography.

The couple met in 2017 while working on a cruise ship crossing the Atlantic Ocean from Spain's Canary Islands to Miami. But it wasn't until 2021 that they started traveling full-time.

They have now ticked off 75 countries together and posted beautiful snapshots on their website (scratchyourmapa.com) and Instagram(@scratchyourmapa), where they gained 22,500 followers.

With their permission, MailOnline Travel has selected incredible photos and videos from their travels.

World-traveling couple Danielle Zito and Fede Supital Terron have allowed MailOnline Travel to capture 15 incredible photos of their adventures. They are pictured above overlooking the striking rock formations in Étretat, a town in Normandy, France

Danni, from New Jersey, and Fede, from Buenos Aires, said they had been traveling since they met.

The reason they photograph their travels? They said: 'We love photography and we have both always had a passion for capturing memories to keep for ourselves.'

And they do everything they can to take the perfect photo, carrying a 'big backpack' with photography gear, including a mirrorless camera with different lenses and a drone. They even plan their outfits to “match the atmosphere and colors of the destination.”

Their favorite place they captured? An island in Yemen called Socotra. Why? They said: 'The sky is always full of stars, the water is crystal clear and there are unique landscapes that you can't find anywhere else.'

The pair use a variety of photography equipment, including drones, to capture their impressive images.  This aerial photo shows the two relaxing in the waters of Socotra, an island of the Republic of Yemen in the Indian Ocean

They chose Iceland, Norway, Italy and Greece as some of their favorite European destinations. The reason? They said: 'They all have super friendly people, great food and incredible scenery.'

And the pair chose Argentina, El Salvador and Peru as places in America they “really love.”

But they are unimpressed by every country they have visited. The couple said they were disappointed by Monaco.

They explained: 'There's a lot of hype around it, but honestly it's ridiculously expensive and not a very attractive destination in our opinion.'

Similarly, Marrakesh is another destination they were misled by.

They explained: 'It is a city that is very chaotic, and we unfortunately found many people trying to scam us, which not many people talk about when they glorify Marrakech.'

The pair describe travel as a “rollercoaster,” the highlights of which, they said, include sharing moments around the world, connecting with locals, learning about new cultures and creating lasting friendships.

But the lows include their car breaking down in Mexico and their photography equipment being stolen in Ecuador.

And when it comes to their work, they said, “There's often more work than fun, and we have to make a lot of sacrifices.”

Although they can now finance their adventures through content creation, blogging and photography, they said they spent their first two years dipping into their savings, working side jobs and limiting their living expenses.

Sometimes they even resorted to “sleeping in a car, sharing a bed, or living off protein bars.”

They explained: 'Blogs and content creation are not an overnight success, and it took us a few years before we started making a real income.

“It's harder than any job we've ever had, but it can certainly be done by anyone who puts their mind to it.”

The secret of their success? They said, “For us, communication is always number one. Discussing the places you want to go, the pace and style of travel, and who does what in each job is critical.”
