Built in Ireland for real family budgets

About Further From Home

Further From Home is an independent, family-run travel project created by a working dad of two. It starts with the question families usually need answered first: how far can our budget actually take us?

Why we built it

Most holiday searches begin by asking you to choose a destination. We wanted to turn that around: tell us the people travelling, dates, departure airport and budget, and we will help reveal the possibilities.

The aim is not to make every trip look perfect. It is to make comparing ideas clearer, more honest and more useful for ordinary family planning.

What matters to us

Budget firstYour budget is a real decision point, not an afterthought.

Honest contextWe separate live prices from planning estimates and explain the limitations.

Family practicalWe care about room setup, meal plans, child-friendly activities and the details that change a family trip.

Independent resultsAffiliate commission does not buy a destination or provider a ranking.

Travel stories from our own family

Our guides are based on trips we have genuinely taken. We include the parts we loved, the bits we would change, and practical details that may help another family. Where family photographs appear, we protect our children’s privacy.

Where the site is today

Further From Home is currently a discovery and planning service. Flight fares are live where our flight provider returns them; accommodation and other trip costs may remain estimates. Activities can open through clearly labelled Viator affiliate links.

We do not take bookings or payments. Any booking is completed with the external provider, whose final price and terms you should check before paying.
