For the dreamers and the doers. The sun chasers and the bargain hunters. The people balancing real life with real wanderlust — and who want adventure without the markup, freedom without the fantasy.
The Away is for people who refuse to choose between travelling well and living well.
Writers, communications strategists, business owners and people who love to travel but also love coming home.
For years, people have asked us about our travels. Our vans. Our trips. Where we've been. How we make it work.
We've always been drawn to travel - we both went to American Universities - but we never quite knew where it fit into our narrative. We weren't influencers. We weren't full-time travellers. We were just... people who loved going places and wanted to do it more.
We started Better Said Studio to give ourselves more freedom, more time and more financial flexibility to spend with our families. And this year we were introduced to an insider way to travel smarter.
Suddenly, it all clicked.
The Away is what happened next.
Instagram shows you where everyone else went. Booking sites show you what everyone else paid. And somewhere between the highlight reel and the sticker shock, most of us just... wait. Or imitate.
We're not here to add to the noise.
We're here because once we understood how the travel industry actually works, everything changed. We stopped overpaying. We started going more. And we realised: most people have no idea this exists.
The Away exists because we want more people to have what we have - access, clarity, and the ability to travel without choosing between that and everything else that matters.
We write
Essays on travel as it's actually lived — why that place, why then, what it revealed. Not aspirational. Not performative. Just real.
We share access
We pull back the curtain on how the travel industry works and give people the same tools travel agents use — better rates, more visibility, and the option to earn commissions on travel they're already taking.
We support a community
Of people who want to stop overpaying, start travelling smarter, and figure out whether this could become a flexible way to earn income alongside everything else they're already doing.
Always driving us forward. Fancy connecting over a cuppa to talk big vision?

Curiosity
This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about taking control of how you travel, what you pay, and whether you want to turn that knowledge into income.
We love adventure. We love beautiful experiences. We love value.
And we're done waiting for the perfect moment or accepting the prices we're shown.
If you're tired of overpaying, waiting for someday, or wondering how other people seem to travel so much — this is for you.
Read the Journal. Join the Community. See what becomes possible when you stop accepting the system as it is and start working with the one that already exists — you just didn't know you had access to it.

Thank you!
Our work goes deeper than just “getting your messaging right.”
It helps you build belief - in yourself and in the people you serve.
Because when you know what to say and how to say it, your audience doesn’t just understand you, They feel seen by you.
And that’s when connection turns into conversion. That’s how stories sell.
