Let me guess. You’ve spent months talking about “doing that trip” — the one to Morocco, or Sri Lanka, or somewhere that doesn’t smell like office chairs. But every time the group chat lights up, it’s the same thing:
- “I don’t know if I can take time off.”
- “Maybe next year.”
- “I just bought a new couch.”
At some point, I realized I had two choices:
Keep waiting. Or leave.
So I left.
Solo Travel Was Never About Being Alone
I didn’t grow up thinking I’d start a group travel company. I just got tired of missing out on life because other people weren’t ready.
The first time I booked a trip alone, I was terrified. I didn’t know what I was doing — but I knew what I wasn’t doing anymore: postponing joy until someone else felt brave.
Turns out, the most powerful thing I packed wasn’t a backpack. It was permission.
The Problem With “Someday”
Travel is supposed to shake your soul a little. But what we’re fed — influencer itineraries, all-inclusive resorts, over-edited “wanderlust” — feels numb. Perfect on the outside. Empty underneath.
That’s not what I wanted. I wanted chaos. Clarity. Strangers who somehow understood me more than people I’ve known for years.
I wanted to feel awake. So I built YFAB for the people who feel the same.
What YFAB Is Really About
Your Friends Are Boring isn’t just a travel company.
- It’s a rebellion against waiting.
- A middle finger to “safe plans.”
- A sanctuary for people who crave connection — but don’t want to fake it.
Every trip we run is built to feel like a restart button.
Dive in the Red Sea. Climb volcanoes in Central America. Eat noodles at midnight with strangers who become soulmates.
This Is For You If…
- You’ve been craving something deeper than just “a break”
- Your group chat is full of excuses, not tickets
- You don’t just want a vacation — you want a transformation
- You’re done postponing life until someone else is free
So… What Now?
Maybe you’re still scared. That’s fair. But if there’s even 10% of you whispering “I need this,” — that’s your sign. That whisper is louder than any plan your friends might eventually get around to.
We’ve got dive trips in the Philippines, sea lions in Mexico, and starlit hikes in the Egyptian desert. But more than that — we’ve got strangers waiting to become your people.

PS — I'm Not Special
I didn’t build this because I’m some brave badass. I built it because I was scared of wasting my life on “maybe next year.”
You don’t need to be fearless. You just need to say yes once. The rest will catch up.
