Viable ways to travel - tested by travelers.
Our Travel Philosophy
For us, traveling isn't about seeing the Eiffel Tower or staying in a resort. The purpose is to see and appreciate how people all over the world live, no matter how remote. We seek out a more authentic experience to get an idea of what it's really like to live in a place. We talk to people, break bread with them, and embrace spontaneity.
Tested Routes Tailored to Travelers
Our itineraries are thoughtfully organized by people, not AI. We hand-pick authentic experiences and remove outdated information. We’ve actually stepped foot in the places we recommend. Our selections, from establishments to stays to activities, are tested firsthand, not only derived from a Google search. If you have recommendations, let us know on our contact page. If you see outdated information, please report it to us.
Our Itineraries Are Tested on Actual Trips
Our comprehensive guides provide an abudance of categorized information, so that you have enough choices to compile into your own itinerary. You can use the established itineraries that were used on our actual trips or our itinerary templates. We take note of proximity and enjoyable paths of transit, so you utilize more time on your trip while also enjoying the scenery along the way.
We Avoid Tourist Traps
We’ve researched hidden routes, cozy nooks, walkable streets, local shops, and national foods found at small eateries. We avoid crowded tourist areas, long lines, and large corporate brands. Our routes can guide you to authentic experiences within the local culture by traveling off the beaten path, and allow you to connect with the locals as if you are a resident.
Travel Prep Resources; the Ultimate Travel Readiness Kit
Travel pointers covering weather prep, packing smart, utilizing layovers, cultural awareness, transportation and currency information, preparation check-lists, destination photography, and links to essential informative resources.
About
Welcome! We’re a couple of anonymous travelers who like to foster a love for adventure in others. The information posted here is relatively unknown to the common tourist, and we’re thankful for that. Our guides are here for those who look for them, but they aren't easily found on social media or Google. It's not that we want to keep things secret; we just don't want places to be negatively impacted with excessive tourism.
Follow along for some travel documentation and high quality photographs. Please don’t repost or use our content without permission.

Donations are welcome, but not expected. We fund our own trips; unfortunately building guides for new destinations can take a while since we only recommend places we have been to.
