Hi, It's Toti!

Toti Maisto - Co-founder Passport and Stamps

Toti Maisto is a London‑based travel creator and co‑founder of Passport and Stamps, chasing experience‑driven adventures from Sri Lanka’s south‑coast breaks to dusty Moroccan road trips.

Between sipping mint tea in Fes’ back‑alley cafés and plotting new routes from the misty mountains of Sapa, I do my best to turn real, boots‑on‑the‑ground journeys into honest, ultra‑practical guides.

My work speaks to independent travellers who want fewer filters, more stories, and the confidence to book the kind of trips they’ll still talk about years later.
