Real Travel. Real People. Real Freedom
Not too long ago, I was stuck in a routine commuting, clocking in, clocking out, while dreaming of something more.
I craved freedom, connection, and adventure. So I swapped my desk for a backpack, my comfort zone for the unknown, and started chasing sunsets instead of paychecks.
That’s how Atlas Junkie was born, a travel blog and personalised travel booking service for curious souls who want to experience the world as it truly is: raw, unpredictable, breathtaking, and affordable.

The Atlas Junkie Story
Why I Travel
Travel is more than just visiting new places, it’s about connecting with people, trying unfamiliar foods, embracing spontaneity, and finding beauty in the unexpected. Whether it’s hiking through the Andes, sipping coffee in a hidden European cafe, or getting lost in the markets of Southeast Asia, every experience teaches me something new.

Our Mission
To inspire and empower people to travel deeply, honestly, and affordably, while creating meaningful connections with the world around them.
Our Vision
To build a global community of travelers who value connection over luxury, experience over status, and freedom over routine.
Our Values
- Authenticity: No filters, no fluff. Just real stories from the road.
- Adventure: Say yes to the unexpected. Get lost on purpose.
- Accessibility: Travel should be possible for anyone, on any budget.
- Connection: Human moments matter more than bucket lists.
- Freedom: Escape routine. Choose curiosity. Live boldly.
- Respect: Travel with humility, care, and gratitude for every culture and community.

Learn from my many, many mistakes. From dodging scams in Morocco to surviving altitude sickness in the Andes, I’ve got you covered.
Instagram-Not-So-Perfect Moments
Because real travel isn’t always filters and flamingos. Sometimes it’s muddy shoes, missed trains, and the best damn coffee you’ve ever had in your life.
Plan Your Trip
Where Travel Dreams Turn Into Real Departures
It usually starts with a moment.
A photo that stops your scroll. A conversation that sparks an idea. A quiet thought that says, “I need to go.”
That’s where Plan Your Trip comes in.
This section is for the dreamers, the overthinkers, the last-minute bookers, and the “I’ve never done this before” travellers. It’s where excitement replaces overwhelm and ideas turn into actual departure dates.
Here, you’ll learn how to choose the right destination, travel at the right time, and build a trip that fits your budget, your pace, and your style. No generic itineraries. No guesswork. Just clear guidance shaped by real travel experience.
And when you’re ready to stop dreaming and start booking, it’s all one click away.
Plan, book, and manage your trip with confidence — flights, hotels, cruises, tours, and full holiday packages, all in one place, with professional support behind every booking.
This is where “someday” becomes booked, bags get packed, and your next story begins.
Let’s plan your escape.

Stick Around
If you love wild adventures, weird encounters, and real stories from a guy who can’t stop chasing the next dot on the map you’re in the right place.
So, whether you’re planning your escape or just here to live vicariously, welcome to the tribe. Strap in. Laugh loud. Wander often.
