The newsletter
It's the same thing we'd tell a friend who asked what we were planning: where we're going next, what it's costing, and whatever we worked out the hard way on the last trip. When a new guide goes up you get it here first.
What turns up
-
New guides, first
Full itineraries with what we paid and what we'd change — Iceland, Vietnam, Bali so far, and Europe through 2026.
-
The trip we're planning
The messy middle of planning, while it's still undecided. This is the part people reply to.
-
The planning tools, free
The packing checklists and the full planning spreadsheet both come with the newsletter rather than being separate signups.
New posts and occasional travel updates. Unsubscribe in one click, no hard feelings.
