About Us
We believe planning a trip should be exciting — not overwhelming.
Across the Blue started from a simple idea: properly planning a trip can take more than 15 hours across blogs, videos and unclear websites — and those hours rarely translate into real confidence that you're making the most of the trip.
We started by organizing our own trips in detail: day-by-day routes, restaurants we actually tried, recommended places to stay, real budgets. We realized that kind of research — done well, with care and real experience — is exactly what most travellers need and don't have time to do themselves.
That's how Across the Blue was born: complete, honest, already-organized itineraries, so all you have to do is travel.
We're starting with Japan, Philippines, Croatia, Albania and Bali, the first destinations we documented in depth. We'll keep adding new countries, travel styles and features — always with the same idea behind it: save you time and give you confidence to enjoy the trip.
How we work
Told from experience
Every itinerary comes from a real trip: routes that were actually done, restaurants that were actually tried and budgets that were actually spent.
Honest, including the bad parts
We tell you what we wouldn't repeat and the mistakes we made, not just the pretty parts.
Recommendations with no strings
Some links on the site are affiliate links and we may earn a commission if you book through them, at no extra cost to you. We only recommend what we'd recommend anyway.
Information you can check
We distinguish what we've lived and verified from what's worth checking before you travel, because prices and schedules change.
