far from is full of the good stuff — travel that makes you feel something and reminds you that the world is full of wonder.

I’m Nick — a photographer, writer, and creative director with travel in my blood.

I’ve explored some wonderful corners of the world and have contributed to publications such as SUITCASE, Geographical, JRNY, and Bradt Guides.

Travel choices have always been one of our most authentic forms of self-expression. But with the growing influence of social media and marketing algorithms, travel can feel homogenised and predictable.

far from is a blog–meets–magazine that seeks to put the originality, discovery, and wonder back into travel.

Each digital issue focuses on one place — blending handpicked guides and recommendations with the visually immersive storytelling and editorial depth of a magazine.

I am selective about what makes it onto these pages — I find value in the slow, the atmospheric, the unsung, the surprising, the hidden, the imaginative, and the true.

I look for experiences that offer a more complex cocktail of emotions than just wow. Journeys where there is an opportunity to learn, unlearn, and cultivate a sense of re-enchantment with the world.

I hope that far from can act as a guidebook of a different kind — one that cultivates deeper ways of thinking about travel, asking not simply where you wish to go, but how you want to feel.

Whatever brought you here, you'll leave dreaming of places that you've never considered, with fresh perspectives on more familiar destinations.

I love to learn that someone went to a place I suggested and loved it.

Let’s travel remarkably.
