About Seeking Elsewhere
This award-winning travel site was created in 2009 and highlights unique destinations, top hotels, and first-hand experiences ranging from flying down the fastest zipline in the world to crawling through wartime tunnels in Vietnam.
Experience Over Ostentation
The unpretentious guide to luxury travel, Seeking Elsewhere emphasizes experience over lavish spending.
At the same time it doesn’t deny that grand hotels, innovative restaurants, cutting-edge design and renewing spa breaks add a layer of lusciousness to a trip.
The key is knowing when to spend and when to save – and articles on Seeking Elsewhere range from the affordable to the impossibly luxe.
With an focus on ‘Place’ and a passion for history, we aim to provide travellers with a level of insight that will help them travel deeper, more comfortably and more mindfully, whether it’s by digging into the scandalous roots of a luxury hotel on the French Riviera or into the sacred garden of an Amazon shaman in Peru.
