Our FTLOsophy
At FTLO, we’re all about connection – to people, places, and new perspectives. We believe travel should expand your world through authentic experiences, meaningful adventures, and real friendships.
Our mission is simple: make transformative travel easier and more accessible for curious, busy young professionals ready to explore and grow.
We create meaningful connections with our world and with each other. We respect and celebrate differences in people, places, and cultures.
We want everyone to have a positive experience - that means you, our team, and everyone in the communities we enter.
Come Together
We choose to travel mindfully – engaging respectfully and openly with different cultures, treading lightly, and savoring the small, in-between moments that make each journey meaningful.
Every FTLO trip is designed with this ethos in mind, and we invite you to carry these values with you – on our trips and beyond.
Travel Mindfully
We partner with local, family-owned businesses to ensure the money from our trips stays within the communities we visit, not in corporate pockets.
By supporting vendors who share our values, we help strengthen local economies and contribute to a healthier, more sustainable travel ecosystem – while offering you a more authentic, meaningful experience.
Support Local
As a purpose driven brand, we seek to leave a positive impact economically, socially, and environmentally. We believe in protecting planet Earth and leaving a positive impression in the local communities we visit.
We encourage engaging with the locals respectfully and with an open sense of curiosity.

Our Story
Hi, I’m Tara!
I started FTLO as a way to give young professionals a way to travel solo while making new friends and supporting the local economy of the places they visited. Ten years later, I couldn’t be prouder to be doing that with an amazing team at a much greater scale than I ever imagined.
I think what sets FTLO apart is how much we care about every itinerary, traveler, destination, and trip leader. We may be a small company, but we pour our hearts into every trip.
If you’ve already traveled with us, thank you for being part of this journey. And if you’re considering your first FTLO trip, I hope you take the leap - we’d love to travel with you!
For the love,
Tara Cappel
Founder and CEO
