About us
Slow travel stories for comfy explorers
We are Alison, Tony & Ella, a family based in the UK, juggling all the usual pressures of life. We love travelling, but our backpacking days are behind us, we now enjoy a little bit of comfort. We like exploring the world, sometimes the unexpected and creating memories that last a lifetime.
We want to share our journeys, our experiences, our story, never quite the norm and always focused on maximising what we get from every trip.
The aim of Comfy Explorers is firstly to encourage you to travel, give honest reviews of our experiences (both good and bad), help people travel smarter and get the best experiences while making the most of your budget.
