A Different Geography of Travel
Explore the Roads Not Traveled
The Maya World
A vast landscape of ancient cities across southern Mexico. This collection focuses on sites beyond the main circuit: less crowded, less commercialized, and often offering a stronger sense of discovery.
Mexico
Away from Mexico’s major destinations, historic cities, mountain towns, and smaller places reveal different landscapes, rhythms, and layers of history.
These pages follow that geography, from colonial centers to places that remain outside the usual travel circuit.
Caribbean Islands
Across the Caribbean are islands that have developed at a slower pace.
These pages follow places where landscape, community, and daily life still shape the experience of travel.
Maritime Crossings
Across open water, distance takes on a different rhythm - horizons widen, days lengthen, and movement becomes part of the experience itself.
From transatlantic voyages to small coastal crossings, these pages trace journeys shaped by the sea.

About the author
I’m Fred, the writer and photographer behind this site.
The articles here come from time spent traveling through the regions I write about — returning to places, walking through them, and documenting them directly. Nothing here is commissioned or sponsored. Every post is written by me and illustrated with my own photography.
My Favorite Journeys
Edzna, Mexico
One of the most striking Maya cities in Campeche, still largely absent from the usual itineraries.
Malinalco, Mexico
In a steep valley Southwest of Mexico City, Malinalco sits sheltered between towering cliffs and cobbled streets.
A Day in St Barths, French Caribbean
In St Barths, the island’s French polish never quite overwhelms its small-scale character. You just have to know where to look.
A Caribbean Voyage Through Smaller Islands
A Caribbean sailing with Explora Journeys offers a glimpse of a new kind of luxury at sea, impressive but still settling into itself.
