Four channels, four different jobs

Follow the part of this you actually want

I do not cross-post the same thing to every platform, because that wastes your time and mine. Each channel below carries something the others do not, and the descriptions are honest about how often each one goes quiet.

Daily while travelling, three times a week at home

The closest thing to walking beside me. Stills from the morning, a written caption that is usually longer than it needs to be, and stories that follow a single day from the first coffee to the last train.

What goes here

  • Photo sets from a single neighbourhood, shot on foot in one morning
  • Stories tracking a full travel day, including the parts that go wrong
  • Saved highlights sorted by destination so you can find a city fast

One long video a month, plus a short route recap

Where the trip gets room to breathe. Twenty to thirty minutes per destination, cut in the order things actually happened, with the transit, the prices and the dead ends left in rather than trimmed out.

What goes here

  • One full destination film per trip, released about six weeks after I return
  • Route recaps that walk through the itinerary day by day on a map
  • Occasional kit videos when something in the bag finally wears out

Several times a week

The scratchpad. Fare drops I have actually booked, visa and border changes worth knowing about, and short answers to the questions that land in my inbox more than once.

What goes here

  • Fare and rail-pass changes for the six destinations I am planning
  • Quick answers to repeat questions about routes and paperwork
  • Links to every new post the morning it goes live

The Sunday Dispatch

The social channels show finished things. The dispatch shows the decisions while they are still open: the flights I am watching, the routes I cannot make work, the accommodation I booked and then cancelled.

The Sunday Dispatch

One email, no images, no affiliate links. What I booked that fortnight, what it cost, and the one thing I would do differently. It is the only place I write about the planning while it is still undecided.

Every second Sunday. No sharing, no selling, unsubscribe in one click.
