Better holidays,
less obvious places

Hand-crafted travel guides, inspiring stories and first-hand experiences from responsible travellers. Discover your next adventure.

As Featured On

We’re Charlie and Luke

We’re Brighton-based 9-to-5-ers who spend every spare minute planning holidays worth spending our annual leave on. We want to inspire you to discover lesser-known destinations, boutique hotels and local spots that don’t make the front of the guidebook.

Our hand-crafted travel guides give you a taste of local culture and unearth the best locally-owned places to stay and eat. They are packed with recommendations to discover your own slow and sustainable travel adventures.

INSPIRATION FOR YOUR NEXT TRIP

Burgau
Piran
Taghazout
Serengeti

Backpacking but make it boujee

Backpack thinking with boutique taste. The lovely hotel a five minute walk from the cheaper one. The vineyard tour worth booking ahead. Subtly upgraded, without breaking the bank.

Responsible travel that gives back

We want to inspire you to travel responsibly and sustainably. We don’t think responsible travel needs a lecture. We just prefer the version that leaves a place better than we found it.

Off the obvious path

We’d rather send you to Burgau than Albufeira and Taghazout than Marrakech. Different doesn’t have to mean difficult. Less crowds means a better experience for everyone.

We get 24 days of holiday, just like you. Find our curated guides to adventures that last from two days to two weeks.

European Weekend Breaks

The Sintra Hike Everyone Misses

Almost every Lisbon day-tripper does the same thing: train in, queue for the palace, queue for the bus, train back. The cliffs west of Sintra — the actual Atlantic, the lighthouse, the windswept westernmost point of mainland Europe — are an alternative route.
