I'm Lily, based in London, working in finance, and taking a trip every ten days across Asia and Europe.
Fare & Far exists because most travel content is either uninspiringly cheap or impossibly expensive, and nobody ever tells you what anything actually costs. I cover both ends of the spectrum — the £30 guesthouses and the boutique hotels — with honest verdicts on when the upgrade is worth it and when it isn't. Real trips, real numbers, no glossing over the bad decisions.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND HERE
On the blog: real cost breakdowns by trip and destination, honest budget-vs-upgrade comparisons, flight and booking hacks, and full itineraries at every price point. On TikTok, shorter versions of the same — the cost reveals, the flex verdicts, the things nobody else bothers to quantify.
If that sounds useful, you're in the right place. Start with my recent itineraries.
