What is this place, and why should you care

Travel without the wanderlust.

This is a travel blog about the questions you only think to ask once you’re already tired, slightly stressed, or standing somewhere dusty with no Wi-Fi.

No inspiration porn. No sponsored itineraries. Just practical, honest writing about:

  • Whether places are actually worth visiting
  • How much things really cost
  • Border crossings, logistics, and getting from A to B
  • The small hustles and frictions travel guides tend to skip

After a year on the road with my girlfriend (now wife), I’ve picked up a collection of experiences that don’t quite qualify as wisdom; but might save you time, money, or mild frustration.
