Put yourself on airplane mode
While modern technology has undeniably simplified travel planning and navigation, the charms of the pre-digital era—when we relied on maps, intuition, and the recommendations of friendly locals—have never truly faded away.
Although we can’t time travel to the days of pre-internet globetrotting, it got us thinking, what would travel without a phone feel like today? A challenge, no doubt, but one rewarded with richer experiences, more meaningful connections, and the ability for any moment to turn into a spontaneous adventure.
With that in mind, FTLO’s Phone-Free Departures are here to reclaim the essence of travel so that we can live in the now, explore without distraction, and forge genuine connections with the people and places that make travel (and life) more interesting.
NO PHONES, JUST MAPS.
UNPLUG &
LOOK UP
The idea is to go the entire time without using a cell phone, whether that means leaving it at home or turned off in the bottom of your luggage.
WANDER WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS
You'll be provided with a printable PDF trip itinerary, daily regroups, and Trip Leader on the ground available to answer any questions you have throughout the trip.
MAKE UNFILTERED CONNECTIONS
Traveling without a phone provides a canvas for deeper connections—with yourself, your surroundings, and the people you meet. It's a chance to allow yourself to embrace the richness of genuine, in-person experiences.
