About FlyViza

Hello fellow wanderers! I am Claire Franklin, the curious creator behind FlyViza, a blog that celebrates the joy of travel in all its quirky forms. Allow me to take you on a whimsical journey through my life and the adventures that ignited my passion for tourism.

The Tale of the Unexpected Escapade

It all began on an unusually stormy Tuesday in the little town of Maplewood, where I found myself caught in a whirl of wind and rain. A simple grocery run turned into an epic quest as I sought shelter in my favorite little café, ‘The Soggy Biscuit.’ With a warm cup of chamomile brewing in my hands, I struck up a conversation with a fellow wanderer named Jake. Oh, the stories he told!

From trekking through the majestic peaks of the Andes to exploring the hidden gems of Kyoto, Jake painted a vivid tapestry of the world with just his words. At that moment, as I sat in a cafe overflowing with the smell of freshly baked scones, I knew I was destined to step out beyond the boundaries of my lovely town. And so the name FlyViza was born, a friendly nudge for anyone who feels a tug on their heartstrings to explore.

A Sprinkle of the Quirky
