Hi! I’m Sophie, the founder of Detourists. I’ve been travelling while working full-time for over nine years, always following curiosity rather than crowds. In 2025 I chose to shift my life and focus fully on the travel sector — not just to document where I’ve been, but to share what actually matters on the road.
Travel isn’t just about destinations — it’s about discovering experiences you wouldn’t normally plan for, the people you meet along the way, and the tools that make exploration feel like freedom, not stress.
We believe travel should answer questions, not just tick boxes. So instead of telling you everywhere you must go, we share:
✔ Honest travel essentials you’ll actually use
✔ Guides built around real curiosities — not generic lists
✔ Insights from trips that challenged us, surprised us and changed us
Whether it’s exploring the buzz of New York City, the colours of India, the beaches of Hawaii, the history of Naples or the wild beauty of Svalbard — we travel in pursuit of stories worth telling.

A practical, honest breakdown of gear and tools for curious travellers — whether you’re exploring a big city or a remote corner.

Download the Curious Traveller Packing System — a simple, flexible framework that’s helped me travel smarter for years.

We’ll send you insights you can actually use — no travel spam included.
