About FavouriteDestination

FavouriteDestination was born from a simple idea: your time is too precious for mediocre trips. You can scroll forever, tick boxes, drown in reviews.

Or you choose one story, one destination, one route that feels right.
Fictional stories. Real destinations. That’s what we create.

What FavouriteDestination is

FavouriteDestination is not a classic travel blog, not a content factory, and not yet another “10 things you must see” website.

We create:

• Writer-worthy stories set in real places
• Ready-to-use travel routes for people who don’t want to spend weeks researching
• A sharp selection of destinations – only places that truly earn the title “favourite”

We treat every destination as if it were a chapter in a book. With atmosphere, rhythm, characters and yes, sometimes a touch of mystery.

Fictional stories. Real destinations.

Our stories are fiction.
The places where they happen are not.

• The cliffs, lochs, villages and views are real
• The paths, bays and viewpoints are places you can actually go to
• The characters and events are invented, but inspired by the way a place feels

We do this on purpose:

• Fiction lets you experience a destination in your mind first
• Then you can visit it for real – with a deeper sense of recognition
• You don’t just wander around; you’re walking through a story you were already part of

Why we have so few destinations

You won’t find 1,000 articles here.
Only destinations we dare to call a Favourite Destination.

That means:

• No hype for hype’s sake
• No “where everyone is going right now” lists

Only places where landscape, atmosphere, food, culture and stories come together
Today that might be the Isle of Skye in Scotland – wild cliffs, quiet lochs, and a lyrical mystery novel set there: Where the Sea Remembers.
Tomorrow it could be a hidden coastal town, an Italian region, or an island almost nobody writes about.

If it isn’t truly special, it doesn’t go on the site.

What you get from us

For every Favourite Destination you get:

• A story,  a fictional novel or short story set in that place
• A feeling of recognition, you “know” the destination before you arrive
• Practical anchors: names of landscapes, villages, viewpoints, the feel of cafés and pubs
• Optionally: a route – a ready-made travel itinerary you can actually use

We believe the best trips start with imagination, not with spreadsheets.

What we don’t do

We are not:

• Another review site
• A price comparison tool
• A platform that drowns you in “must see” lists that all say the same thing

We’re not here to flood you with content.
We’d rather give you one good story than twenty half-hearted listicles.

Who is behind FavouriteDestination

FavouriteDestination is created by someone who takes two things very seriously:
stories and time. Stories, because they shape the way you see the world
Time, because you only get so many holidays, road trips and big trips in a lifetime
I build and write FavouriteDestination as if it were a carefully curated bookshelf:
better a small, hand-picked row of titles than shelves full of noise.

Transparent about fiction

We’re honest about what’s made up and what isn’t.
With every story, you’ll clearly see: Fictional story. Real destination.
What you read is imagined. Where it happens is real. The characters, dialogue and plot are fictional.

The island paths, viewpoints, villages, hills, pubs and atmosphere are things you can experience for yourself.

How to use FavouriteDestination

Start by reading the story. Let the destination come alive in your mind. Decide for yourself whether this place is worth your time. Then book, or don’t. But if you go, you’ll go differently: you recognise names, you recognise places. You feel as if you’re arriving somewhere you already half belong.

FavouriteDestination is for travellers who don’t just want to be somewhere,
but want to feel something there.

If you ever find yourself standing on a cliff – in Scotland, Italy, Australia or anywhere else – and you think, “This feels like stepping into a page I’ve already read,” then we’ve done our job well.
