Smiling Man Hiking In Mountains

You've come to the place where wanderlust meets wisdom!

Hi! I'm Stephen.

After travelling around the world, I've combined my travel obsession with a fascination for the intriguing little facts that each place has to offer. The result is a site that groups the interesting, the nice to know and useful travel stuff together all in one place — making an engaging mix of content for the curious traveller.

I have been to every country showcased on here and will soon be travelling to my 100th. The pictures and knowledge showcased are directly from my explorations. Whether it be some odd, fun fact or a piece of handy advice, I hope to inspire your next journey while providing an uncommon look at the globe.

Supporting Local Businesses & Economies

If I've had an amazing time somewhere, you bet it can be found written about here. Whether that be local shops, restaurants, or services, I hope to help boost the local economy with my recommendations, and for users of the site to be matched with exceptional experiences.

Exposure for Some of the Lesser Known Travel Destinations

With the grand aim of eventually travelling to every country in the world, this has already led me to travel to some amazing places off the beaten track. Think Paraguay, Lesotho or Liechtenstein as a start. I want to earn these places the recognition & tourism they deserve!

Promoting Sustainable Travel

Anyone who finds themselves travelling an extensive amount should consider their impact on the planet. I try to only take flights if there are absolutely no other options available. I like to measure my impact through the carbon calculator provided by World Land Trust (click on the title to use). I will be sprinkling in across my content ways to educate readers on eco-friendly practices and responsible tourism. If a more sustainable route is available, then it will be considered!
