About Feasts + Faraway Places

We're full-time business professionals with limited vacation days and holidays, traveling with (and caring for) our young children and aging parents and grandparents.

We're strategic travelers – we maximize our experiences and opportunities while traveling on a condensed timeline. While traveling we also try to highlight local experiences – from dining to activity selection.
