What Escapes Unfold is About

At Escapes Unfold, our travels are fuelled by a passion for adventure, relaxation, culture, and—most importantly—unforgettable food. While we no longer backpack or stay in hostels, we don’t splurge on luxury hotels unless the accommodation itself is the experience (think overwater bungalows in the Maldives!). We believe the best travel moments come from immersive experiences—whether that’s kayaking at sunrise, indulging in a world-class tasting menu, or connecting with a culture beyond the guidebook – and this is what we prioritise.

By unfolding our journeys with you, we hope to inspire your next escape—tailored to your travel style, budget, and dream destination. Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, a cultural deep dive, or the perfect food-filled itinerary, we’re here to help you make it extraordinary.

How We Plan Our Travels

At Escapes Unfold, we believe the best trips blend structure with spontaneity. While we both come from analytical backgrounds, we don’t believe in planning every minute of our journeys. Instead, we curate key highlights—those must-do moments that truly define a destination—and build flexible itineraries around them.

Our travel guides offer a day-by-day overview with thoughtfully selected activities. It might be as simple as taking a morning walk or enjoying a dinner reservation at a highly recommended restaurant that we bookmarked.
This approach gives us space to embrace the unexpected—whether it’s a tip from a fellow traveler, a hidden local gem, or a spontaneous adventure like sunrise kayaking on Bacalar Lagoon. If you’re a detailed planner, you can take our itineraries as inspiration and build your own. The most important thing is to have fun with it!

Get To Know Us More

1. How do you choose your travel destinations?

We love a mix of adventure, culture, and relaxation! Our destinations are usually inspired by personal bucket lists, hidden gems we stumble upon, and recommendations from fellow travellers. Oh, and if there’s amazing food involved, that’s the icing on the cake!

3. Can I use your itineraries exactly as they are?

Absolutely! But we also encourage you to tweak them based on your own travel style. Think of our itineraries as a flexible blueprint—follow them as is, or make adjustments to create your own perfect adventure. And remember to have fun whatever you plan to do!

2. What was it like on your first ever trip together?

Our very first trip together? Ah, the good old days of Covid travel restrictions—when picking a destination was less about the dream and more about where your passport would actually let you in. That led us to the breathtaking Isle of Skye in Scotland. The trip was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, but one particular moment sealed the deal for us as lifelong travel partners.
On a hike at Quiraing, we somehow thought it was a good idea to take separate paths to the top, assuming they’d merge at some point. They didn’t. As the sun started setting and the paths drifted further apart, we had one of those cinematic, slightly panicked “where the heck did you go?” moments. Eventually, we found each other—thankfully before the Scottish wilderness claimed us forever—and from that day on, we made a pact: no more separating on hikes (and always bring snacks).

4. Do you accept sponsored travel or collaborations?

We’re open to working with brands that align with our travel style and values. However, all opinions and recommendations are 100% our own—we only share what we truly love and believe our readers will find valuable.
