Judgment with a name on it.

Escapes by Cindy exists for people with more taste than time: original, boutique, quieter itineraries shaped by one person’s judgment — not AI listicles, not influencer placements, not a race through every “must-see.”

Cindy is the public curator. She plans the way she loves to travel: culture, scenery, local food, flexible days. Hidden corners sit beside the famous stops. Nightlife defaults and checklist tourism do not.

The brand grew from a simple pattern: friends kept asking her to plan their trips. Ready escapes turn that care into something you can buy and follow — day-by-day plans shaped by how she loves to travel.

Taipei was her first solo city trip in fifteen years. She expected a hard place. Instead she found a clean MRT, help when she needed it, and the confidence to walk at night — temples and tea hills alongside ordinary streets worth photographing. That trip became Taipei in 5 Days.

Bali, for her, is not only the busy south. Beyond South Bali is a ten-day path through Sidemen’s rice terraces, Amed’s black-sand coast, and Munduk’s cool highlands — slower mornings, boutique stays, and room to feel the place.

How she works

Recommendations are not bought by destinations. Places earn their spot in a guide through judgment — and when something was researched but not yet stayed in, that honesty stays on the page.

Escapes by Cindy is a sister publication of Free Two Roam — same people and values, separate brand and site.
