About FarewellTravels: Select Escapes

 

FarewellTravels is a travel news and information site drawing upon the experiences and insights of passionate travelers all over the world. We pride ourselves on pulling together individual writers and/or bloggers, photographers, filmmakers and artists who intimately know their destinations or their specific types of travel (adventure, family-friendly, romantic, etc.).


Our objective is to share the most worthwhile travel experiences, destinations and products and at the same time, promote responsible tourism. We provide tips for solo travelers, couples, and families with children of all ages. While some of our recommendations may be on the expensive side, many are not expensive at all and some are completely free. We include hotels and travel destinations that are brand new, along with those that are well established. Some are all about dressed-up luxury, others involve putting on a pair of hiking boots and heading into the backcountry.


Please note that we fact-check all content thoroughly. Nevertheless, information (especially prices) can change. We do our best to be up to date. FarewellTravels is located in Westport, Connecticut.
