Call of the World is your first port of call for all things travel and escapism.
Travel
Hello, my name is Rowan, and welcome to Call of the World, where you can find your regular dose of travel inspiration. Call of the World is dedicated to all things travel and escapism, intended to inspire you to travel more and see the best that our beautiful world has to offer. Through this website, you can find help and advice for planning your next trip, so you can explore the furthest corners of the world.
Literature
Here at Call of the World, we also believe that travel and literature go hand-in-hand, as by reading we can look outwards, and experience new worlds through the eyes of others. Not everyone can travel all the time, but a good book can be enjoyed anywhere. So, we have dedicated a section of this website to our must-reads, themed around various countries throughout the world.
Sustainability
Last but not least, we are firm believers that travel can be used as a force for good. Travel, done well, can be an antidote to prejudice and intolerance, as it promotes inter-cultural understanding and empathy. What’s more, it promotes the global redistribution of wealth, as many communities around the world benefit from jobs created by the industry. Nevertheless, in the face of climate change, we all need to strive to do better. Here at Call of the World we have a particular interest in finding travel experiences where enjoyment and doing good for our planet go hand-in-hand.
More about me…
In 2019 I left the daily grind in London to embark on a year of travel. From hiking in the Faroe Islands to lazing around on Thai beaches and living out of a van in New Zealand, it has been an incredible time in my life. I’d like you to leave this website feeling like you could do it too.
Throughout Call of the World, not only will you be able to find travel guides and useful information for planning your next adventure, but you’ll also be able to find a number of lifestyle posts designed to help you reach a point where regular travel is feasible, rather than just a distant pipe dream.
As they say, the decisions we make everyday are the decisions that shape our reality. Let’s make it a good one!
