We are FITs, fully independent travelers, and we love traveling the world. The keyword and concept: independent. FITs don’t travel with group tours or have a schedule imposed by others. Travel is Beautiful is a travel site written by real people, not anonymous reviewers. We aren’t opposed to getting help when we need it and we enjoy the process of trip planning and sharing our adventures on this site.
