Farawayistan is a travel blog by Sabina and Robin. We’re originally from the Netherlands and now live in Sweden, and we share a love for exploration that inspired our one-year bicycle adventure across Europe.
We wanted a way to share our experiences, tips, and stories from places far off the beaten path. That’s how the name Farawayistan was born, taken from the Dutch comic-inspired word Verweggistan, meaning “a faraway place. or in Swedish, Långtbortistan” Today, we continue to travel, discover, and document adventures both near and far, sharing practical insights and honest stories for anyone who wants to experience travel thoughtfully and fully.
