Travel Guides for Un-tourists

For the untourists.
Travel liberated.

20 Cities, 22 Itineraries, 5563 locations.

The places everyone wants to be, before everyone wants to be there. All Curated. No BS. Pinky swear.

Featured Cities

Parts of the world on our radar. Going now is a good idea.

Miami

Bienvenidos a Miami, the playground of spring breakers, art collectors, club rats, and celebrities alike.

London

When the sun sets on the British empire, you can expect a jolly good time. Look right when crossing the streets though.

Nashville

Where cowboy boots were made for walking and finger licking is highly encouraged.

Seattle

The lush green land of Sub Pop, tech giants, Mount Rainier, and the infamous Seattle Freeze. Yes, it rains here.

Lisbon

She might be Europe's second-oldest capital city, but Lisbon’s a cradle-robber when it comes to young creatives.

Berlin

Berlin has been celebrating nonstop since reunification. Europe’s clubbing capital only has one rule: be yourself.

Minneapolis

Prepare to fall hard for this big-town small-city, where locals say “have a nice day” and actually mean it.

Amsterdam

Narrowly dodge bicyclists and stag-night bozos as you wander through this fantasyland.

Hong Kong

Lack of elbow room and neck-craning is the norm in Hong Kong, but the xiao long bao delivers. Afraid of heights? Do not recommend.

Prague

Where locals cling to coffee cups and navigate the cobblestone streets in flip-flops with socks (yeah, it’s a thing).

New York

Bring your best RBF for those crowded subway rides. Selfie sticks and slow walking are not welcome here.

Washington D.C.

Rub elbows with the bigwigs in the most educational Mall in the country. Trust us, it’s more interesting than a textbook.

Barcelona

Neighborhood soccer games, outdoor dancing at La Sagrada Familia, and a walk in Picasso's youthful shoes.

San Francisco

Startups, Karl the Fog, and hills so steep you’ll get a workout walking around the corner. Don’t call it “Frisco” or “San Fran.”

Paris

Fashion, art, history, all in a city so beautiful it hurts. The bad news: this hedonistic playground is just not that into you.

Copenhagen

The Copenhagen starter pack: hygge, bike lanes, fairytale castles, New Nordic Cuisine, and happiness.

New Orleans

Overlook the potholes and regrettable history and you’ll discover what’s so easy about the Big Easy (hint: good food, people, and parties).

Chicago

Windy days are sure to ruin your blowout, but Capone’s playground can be yours too, if you know where to look.

Los Angeles

Pack your finest athleisure and energy crystals, you’ll need those posi vibes while navigating from Eastside to West.

Mexico City

Chilangos drinking pulque at lunchtime, bustling, maze-like mercados, and remnants of an ancient civilization. CDMX has everything and un poco más.

Miami

Bienvenidos a Miami, the playground of spring breakers, art collectors, club rats, and celebrities alike.
