Pick a city.
We’ll pack the rest.↗ vol.14

Wayfare is a small booking studio for slow trips. Every Tuesday we publish a board of six places we’d go ourselves — with the flights, beds, and the one good restaurant already lined up.

Fares are placeholders until you tell us your dates and your budget. Press / to filter.

01 — What this is

Most travel sites ask you what you want and then sell you what they have. We do the opposite. Each Tuesday a board goes up. Six places. Six trips someone here has actually taken in the last twelve months.

You pick the row that calls. We do the rest — flights, the bed, the one restaurant that justifies the flight. No upsells, no loyalty tier, no plus members save. One flat planning fee, paid once you say go.

Three of forty — spring ’26

Nº 0374 nights

LISBON + Cascais

A coast-side hotel on a Tuesday, a tram into Alfama on Wednesday, fado on Friday, and a quiet drive west. The room has a kettle.

Apr — JunFrom €387

Nº 0389 days

TOKYO + a hot-spring detour

Nine days. A small inn in Yanaka, two nights in Hakone with the windows wide open, a bullet train back for one last izakaya.

May — JulFrom ¥84,500

Nº 0397 nights

REYKJAVIK + the south coast

A car, a glacier, a small wooden cabin with a hot pool around the back. Aurora season runs late but the days are long.

Sep — MarFrom €445

02 — How it works

01· Tue 06:00

The board goes up.

Six rows, six places, one a week. We pick what we’d book ourselves, never what pays best.

02· 15 min call

You pick the row that calls.

We talk dates, budget, and the one weird thing you want (a kettle, a left-handed surfboard, a quiet room).

03· Within 48h

We send the dossier.

Flights, beds, a hand-typed itinerary, restaurants you can ignore. Pay once. Go when you’re ready.

03 — A note

We started this because we were tired of filtering our way to a holiday. A good trip is closer to a good record — someone has to choose the order of the songs. — Marta & Idris · Lisbon, est. 2024
