Far & Found

A travel journal for the places that change you.

far & found

Far & Found lives at the intersection of both—where getting lost leads to finding something that stays with you long after you’re home.


Others are about discovery.

Some journeys are about distance.

What You’ll Find Here

Far & Found is about slow travel, meaningful places, and the quiet moments in between—the cafés you stumble into, the coastal roads you didn’t plan, the feeling of being exactly where you’re meant to be.

We believe the best trips aren’t just photographed.
They’re felt.

This isn’t a checklist of destinations or a race to see it all.

Far & Found is for the traveler who values:

  • Meaning over mileage
  • Quality over quantity
  • Curiosity over perfection

You don’t need to see everything.
You just need to see something that matters.

Go far enough to see the world differently.
Stay present enough to notice what finds you there.

There’s freedom in knowing you don’t have to do it all. The moment I let go of “everything,” travel started giving me exactly what I needed.

I arrived with a full itinerary and left with none. Somewhere between the early morning fog and the sound of waves against stone, I remembered that not every moment needs a plan.
