Welcome to Ren Away

Hi, I’m Lauren (but you can call me Ren). 

As a human geographer, avid adventurer and culture enthusiast, my goal is to bring you to the heart and soul of destinations around the world.

Whether you’re looking to plan your travels, connect with local communities, uncover fascinating stories, or simply explore the world from the comfort of your home, I am here to guide you.

I specialise in helping you go off the beaten path and add depth to the classic tourist routes. Here I’ll share local recommendations, unforgettable local festivals and celebrations, tips on how to connect to the community quickly, and where to find homestay opportunities.

I also shed light on important stories from the local communities and challenges they face.

Welcome to this hub of authentic travel inspiration, meaningful cultural experiences, and off the beaten path travel tips and hacks.
