THE PERSON BEHIND ALARTRAVELS
A Travel Website Built by a Traveler.
“I wanted to create the kind of travel website I would want to use myself – useful information first, practical planning second.”
I love travelling. But like many working travelers, work pressure and a realistic travel budget do not always make long trips possible. So whenever I can, I try to explore somewhere new – even if it is just a weekend trip close by.
AlarTravels grew from that love for travelling and from a simple frustration: finding useful travel information online should not feel like being pushed towards a package.
