I write about places like I'd text a friend.

The Long Way is a journal of slow travel — long essays for when you want to be transported, and short field guides for when you have a flight already booked. ✈️

I started writing it because the travel internet got loud, and I missed the kind of writing that took its time. The kind you read with a coffee on a Sunday morning and put down feeling like you've been somewhere.

When I recommend a tour, a hotel, or a piece of gear, it's something I've used and would tell a friend to use. Some are affiliate links — they cost you nothing and keep this journal going. 🥂
