Welcome to But First, Fly, a travel blog created for explorers, dreamers, and anyone who’s ever felt the thrill of boarding a plane to somewhere new. Whether you’re planning your first big international trip or you’re a seasoned traveler looking for fresh inspiration, you’re in the right place.
But First, Fly was born from the simple belief that travel has the power to change us — to open our minds, connect us with new cultures, and bring a little more joy into our everyday lives. Our goal is to help you travel smarter, go further, and enjoy every step of the journey.
We focus on international destinations across the Americas and beyond, sharing personal experiences, practical travel tips, and destination guides that are easy to follow and full of personality. From detailed itineraries and hidden gems to food recommendations and cultural highlights, our content is designed to inspire your next adventure — without overwhelming you.
This isn’t a place for just luxury or budget travel. We believe in a realistic, enjoyable, and balanced travel experience — the kind that includes both the postcard-perfect views and the local cafés you stumble into along the way. Whether you love museums, beaches, urban exploration, or road trips, you’ll find something here that speaks to your style.
Who’s Behind the Blog?
Hi! I’m Tobias, the voice behind But First, Fly. I’m a travel enthusiast, storyteller, and curious mind with a passion for exploring different corners of the world and helping others do the same. After years of planning trips for myself, friends, and family, I decided to create this space to document my journeys and share what I learn along the way.
This blog is a reflection of my love for movement, discovery, and meaningful connections. I write about the places I visit with honesty and care, always aiming to highlight the experiences that matter — not just the picture-perfect moments.
