Group or solo, budget or luxury, adventure or leisure, to discover something new or to move on — there are innumerable reasons to travel. In case one needs inspiration, information, planning advice, or just plain escapism, odds are a travel page on Facebook will be there for you.

But searching “travel” on Facebook brings up 1000+ results, most related to already established magazines / websites / brands we all recognize — NatGeo, Travel+Leisure, Outside, Lonely Planet. In such a crowded environment, it’s difficult to go off the beaten track. Fear not, though; we’re here to help.
