STOP!!! Are you tired of the same old travel blog content?
Welcome to Fake Travel News, where we’re turning travel blogging on its head with a healthy dose of satire and a dash of irreverence.
Let’s face it—the travel blog landscape is crowded with the same predictable content. On one end, you have the ultra-serious cultural analysts dissecting every historical nuance of a destination with academic precision. On the other, there’s the endless parade of sunshine-filtered posts gushing about “life-changing” experiences and “hidden gems” that somehow have 4,000 reviews on TripAdvisor.
You’ve seen the headlines:
At Fake Travel News, we believe travel is remarkable enough without the overwrought prose. We’re here to puncture the balloon of travel pretension while still celebrating what makes seeing the world so damn wonderful.
Prepare yourself for wildly imaginative travel tales that throw the boundaries of reality straight out the airplane emergency exit. Our stories might involve discovering a colony of retired mermaids running an underground speakeasy in the Maldives, or documenting the secret alien tourism industry in Area 52 (the even more secret site next to Area 51).
You’ll read firsthand accounts of Bigfoot’s luxury glamping business in the Pacific Northwest, interviews with time-traveling tour guides specializing in medieval pub crawls, and exclusive reviews of hotels where the continental breakfast includes foods from continents that don’t actually exist.
These stories require a vigorous suspension of disbelief and a willingness to embrace the utterly absurd. If you’re looking for practical travel advice, you’ve come to precisely the wrong place—and we couldn’t be happier about it.
Our mission is simple: bring humor back to travel writing. We’ll tell you about the time we got food poisoning from that “authentic local experience,” the tourist trap we fell for despite reading seventeen blog posts warning against it, and yes, how that famous landmark was indeed “just like the pictures”—except for the 400 selfie sticks blocking your view.
Because travel is messy, awkward, surprising, and often hilariously unpredictable. And that’s exactly what makes it worth doing.
Every article on Fake Travel News comes with our ironclad “This Is Completely Made Up” guarantee. We take pride in our commitment to absolute fabrication and include clear disclaimers on all posts to ensure no reader accidentally books a flight to Atlantis or tries to exchange currency for unicorn tears.
We come up with the wild ideas, characters, and plots ourselves—AI helps us sharpen the jokes, beef up the content, and smooth the edges. It’s always trying to end stories with a happy moral, even if they involve volcanic cults or haunted hostels.
Our content is meant to be entirely humorous and should never be mistaken for actual travel advice, news, or reality of any kind. If you find yourself believing any of our stories, we recommend a strong cup of coffee and perhaps a brief conversation with a sensible friend.
That said, beneath our layers of absurdity and jokes about overpriced airport sandwiches lies a genuine love for the transformative power of travel. I remember the feeling of first walking into a new town or city, putting my energy into a new section of the map. As I met new people and made lifelong friends, I gained perspective on how interconnected everyone is. At Fake Travel News, we believe you can celebrate the wonder of exploring our world while also laughing at its quirks and occasionally imagining it populated with dragons running five-star resorts.
Join us as we navigate the globe with our tongues firmly in our cheeks—finding joy in the journey, laughing at ourselves along the way, and still somehow making you want to book that flight (to a real destination, of course).
