Hi! I’m Samantha- the face behind Intentional Detours Travel Blog which focuses on offbeat budget travel in some of the world’s less-visited locales.
I aim to inspire my readers to travel to get off the beaten path anywhere, whilst proving you don’t need to break the bank to do so.
Intentional Detours has a specific focus on cultural travel, local eats, and unique experiences both in cities and out in the wilderness. My audience is a mix of backpackers/ budget travelers interested in authentic travel in cheap travel in and around (South) Asia.
Through extremely detailed city/country guides, travel gear, and posts related to the wide world of budget travel, the blog aims to be a one stop shop for those seeking real, raw adventure travel.
Established in May 2019, Intentional Detours is growing rapidly and has seen nearly 1000% increase in readership in the past year alone.
