About Unnamed Traveler
For the past decade, we've had the privilege of living and working in over 100+ countries. In recent years, we’ve witnessed the tragic disappearance of the small businesses, family operations, and historical relics that represent and uphold authentic local culture. Every year, thanks to social media and globalization, these places are being replaced by glossy-replicas that cater to global palettes — should you be able to get avocado toast next to the Vatican? We don’t think so.
As professional travelers, whenever we go to a new destination, we reach out to each other in search of recommendations and tips that take us beyond the surface-level obvious places. After a decade of gatekeeping, we decided that the best way to preserve the locations we love is to share them with other discerning travelers and curious wanderers. The Unnamed Traveler is our attempt to share not just where to go, but to teach you how to enjoy and appreciate these places at their best.
We’ve all heard of Pukhet, Phi PHi, and Samui. However, mass tourism is changing the islands, and not for the good. Many places are packed with people, expensive, and simply not enjoyable, as it’s getting harder to find authentic experiences and culture.
But there is hope.
This guide takes you beyond the usual spots to serene beaches, lush jungles, and vibrant local cultures most travelers miss. Whether you seek adventures, relaxation, or community, there’s something for you here.
