About Us

Welcome to Fly Far Away – Where Travel Isn’t Just a Destination, It’s a Way of Being

Let’s face it—travel has changed. It’s no longer just about the big vacation you plan for six months in advance, or the Instagram-perfect shots you take once you’re there. These days, travel is about more. More meaning. More connection. More stories. More realness. And if that’s the kind of journey you’re craving? Then you’ve just landed in the right place.

Fly Far Away isn’t your typical travel blog, booking site, or influencer-style roundup. We’re the travel companion you didn’t know you needed—the one who won’t sugarcoat the experience, who’s got great tips on dodging tourist traps and finding that hole-in-the-wall bakery where the locals eat, and who genuinely believes travel is less about where you go, and more about what you bring back with you.

We’re here for every kind of traveler—first-timers, full-time wanderers, culture lovers, food chasers, solo dreamers, and people who simply want to see the world with fresh eyes. No pretentiousness. No over-edited filters. Just good storytelling, practical tips, and a whole lot of heart.

Who We Are

We’re a mixed bunch of writers, wanderers, culture junkies, and everyday explorers. Some of us travel full-time. Others do it between jobs, semesters, or school runs. Some are spreadsheet planners, others pack the night before. But we all believe in one thing: travel, when done with intention, can change everything.

Fly Far Away started as a tiny blog with a handful of stories, a camera full of blurry food shots, and a dream to do travel differently. We didn’t want to just show people where to go. We wanted to show them how to go—and more importantly, why.

Today, we’re a growing platform with contributors around the world, but we’re still deeply grounded in our original promise: to make travel feel accessible, meaningful, and yes—absolutely magical.

What We Cover

Destinations

Let’s start with the obvious—where to go.

Bt this isn’t just another list of “Top 10 Most Instagrammable Cities.” We go deeper. We look for stories behind the streets, the layers of culture and history that shape a place, and the human connections that make it unforgettable.

Our Destinations section features:

  • Hidden gems in popular countries (because there’s always more than the tourist trail)
  • Underrated cities and towns that deserve way more love
  • Authentic experiences you won’t find in glossy brochures
  • Real traveler insights—no fluff, no paid placement, just honest takes

We don’t do copy-paste itineraries. We do layered, human, sometimes chaotic travel stories that help you see a place before you ever arrive—and fall in love with it once you do.

Travel Tips

This is where we get practical. Because no one wants to be the person holding up the line at customs or panicking because they forgot to download Google Maps offline.

In our Travel Tips section, we share:

  • Packing hacks that actually work (and don’t involve buying 17 new organizers)
  • Visa and documentation advice that won’t put you to sleep
  • Safety tips without fearmongering
  • Budget travel strategies that don’t feel like punishment
  • Travel planning tools we’ve tested, trusted, and used mid-air during a delay

We’re here to make your trip smoother, not more stressful. Whether you’re navigating a red-eye flight, a currency you’ve never used, or just figuring out how to ask for the bathroom in Italian—we’ve got you.

Food & Culture

Now we’re talking. This is our heartbeat. The reason many of us started traveling in the first place.

Our Food & Culture section is where we dig into what makes a place feel alive. The smells, the rituals, the recipes, the street corners buzzing with something you can’t quite name.

We explore:

  • Local dishes that define a place—beyond what’s on the tourist menus
  • Food etiquette that’ll save you from awkward stares (or delight locals)
  • Cultural traditions that might surprise you (in the best way)
  • Real-life moments—like dancing at a festival you didn’t understand but couldn’t stop smiling at
  • Interviews with locals, chefs, artists, and people who carry a place’s story

Food and culture are where connection happens. It’s where strangers become friends. Where language barriers turn into shared laughter. We don’t just report on these moments—we chase them, we live them, and we bring them back to you.

Our Approach

We’re not here to sell you a fantasy. We’re here to show you what’s possible.

We don’t over-edit. We don’t recommend places we wouldn’t return to ourselves. And we definitely don’t promote experiences we haven’t personally loved—or at least learned something from.

Our approach is:

  • Honest. If something wasn’t great, we’ll tell you. If it was life-changing, we’ll tell you that too.
  • Diverse. We feature voices from all backgrounds, age groups, travel styles, and life experiences.
  • Ethical. We respect communities, culture, and environments. We promote sustainable choices and leave-no-trace travel.
  • Curious. We ask questions. We observe. We learn. Because the best travelers are the ones who don’t pretend to know it all.

Travel isn’t perfect. Sometimes your flight gets cancelled. Sometimes the meal you hyped up for days is... just okay. But those are part of the story. And we’re here for the whole thing.

Why Choose Fly Far Away?

Because you’re tired of cookie-cutter blogs that all recommend the same five beaches. Because you want to feel something when you read about a destination. Because you believe travel is more than a checklist—it’s a chance to grow.

Looking Ahead

Fly Far Away is always evolving. Like the travel world itself, we shift with the seasons, the stories, the needs of the moment.
