What We Do
Frayed Passport publishes travel stories, trivia, and guides that inspire you to explore the world intelligently and respectfully, and with a healthy dose of adventure and curiosity. Many of our readers are seasoned travelers, nomads, and expats, but everyone is welcome! Whether you’re reading fun facts, planning a vacation, or even thinking about moving abroad, we hope you’ll find helpful resources and info here.
Mission
Our mission is to empower people to explore new destinations and gain a deeper understanding of and connection to our diverse, beautiful world.
How We Got Started
Frayed Passport got its start in 2012 sharing stories from travelers who’ve seen and done incredible things—like taking America’s most beautiful train ride, conquering Vietnam’s Ha Giang Loop on a motorbike, or falling in love with (and never leaving) Cinque Terre.
Over the years, we’ve branched out to add in-depth guides and fun resources for people who want to incorporate travel more fully into their lives (or just learn some trivia!). Our core team of writers are experienced travelers and nomads, and we’ve all taken different paths to get there. Every traveler is unique, and we want to help you find your voice and achieve your dreams for every trip that you take. We publish new articles and tidbits every day, and we hope that you’ll find something inspirational and educational during your stay.

Sarah Stone
My work in the travel space started in 2005, when I joined an internship with the Peace Corps, and I’ve been bouncing around in communications and development for travel companies (and other innovative places) ever since.
I’ve been to 20+ countries and have had the fantastic opportunity to live and work in Canada, Portugal, Panama, and lots of other gorgeous destinations as a digital nomad—Miami is my home base now, where I live with my wonderful husband Dave and our Peruvian street dog Mimi.
