Far Out Travel
How to build the life you've always wanted
Far Out - fɑːr ˈaʊt (adj, slang): some unexpected, exceptionally awesome shit
Uh, Who are you?
Hey! We're Greg and Charlie
We are two humble idiots who first got addicted to travel over ten years ago, and have made it our lifestyle since.
Sadly for us, there were never any parents' credit cards, trust funds, and certainly no influencer six-packs to pay for it!
Instead, we've built businesses, invested in property, changed careers, lived and worked around the world - all to make our sustainable travel lifestyle a reality.
Now, we've travelled six continents, climbed volcanoes, survived earthquakes, and watched the sun set over some of the most beautiful beaches on Earth.
We have time off when we want it, money to fund the fun, and plan trips that actually happen.
And now we're showing you, step-by-step, how you can do it too!
Here's how:
Whether you're 16, 60, nervous, just too busy, in a career, or sceptical this could ever be you at all, we're going to:
- Show you just how accessible travel really is;
- De-mystify the admin and logistics;
- Get you on the road for the first time;
- Share our hard-won tips, tricks, hints, itineraries and guides to travelling like a pro;
- Teach you how to make your money and time work for you, so you can do this all again. And again, and again...
- Prove that you can build the life you've always wanted.
All backed by the Far Out Tribe - our community of adventurers who are making their most Far Out travel dreams a reality.
You won't find any 'Quit your job and travel forever!' speeches, pipe dreams, or fluffy bullshit here. (Or again, six-packs. Please stop asking.)
Instead, you'll find practical, achievable guides to making your travel life a reality. We have poured all our knowledge, our passion, our experience and our mistakes into this project.
This is the Far Out blueprint for how anyone can build a better life.
Ready?
Welcome to the Tribe.
