Who we are

We are Sylvain and François. We travelled around the world together in 2008 - 2009. Since then, we still go on big travels regularly.

Awayforlong was born from this long travel more than 10 years ago. We're pround to say that the French version of this website became the number 1 reference for those planning a long-term travel. We hope it will soon be yours as well.

Expert
advice

When we write articles it's not just about our own experience.

We always work in collaboration with other experienced long-term travellers. Each article is a long work of research. We go through the web in depth, we read the books focused on each topic, we interview the specialists and ask the community of Awayforlong to know what choice they made.
