A note from Rocio

LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER

On the kind of travel I love, and why I built Fisheye Journeys around it.

Dear Traveler,

The things I remember most about a place aren't always the things I went there expecting to remember.

It's often a conversation, a meal, something someone taught me, or a moment that made me understand the place a little differently.

That's the kind of travel I want Fisheye Journeys to make room for.

I want you to eat somewhere you wouldn't have found on your own. I want you to meet the person behind something you're learning about. I want you to understand why a tradition matters, not just photograph it. And I want there to be enough room in the itinerary to notice what's happening around you.

Building Fisheye Journeys has given me a way to share that kind of travel with other curious people.

I don't expect every trip to change your life. Sometimes a really good trip is simply a really good trip.

But I do hope you come home knowing something you didn't know before. How a dish is made. Why a tradition matters. A conversation you might not have had otherwise. Maybe you simply understand the place a little better than you did when you arrived.

That's enough for me.

And if that sounds like the way you like to travel too, I hope you'll join us somewhere.

See you out there,

Rocio

Maybe I’ll see you on the next one.
