About the journal
Slow roads and small towns.
Three weeks along a coast without booking a night ahead taught me more than a decade of itineraries, and that is roughly the editorial policy. One country at a time, long enough to learn the bus routes.
Everything here is somewhere I actually went, at my own cost, and every entry ends with what it cost. No sponsored stays, no press trips, no affiliate links.

Costs at the end, alwaysNights, price for two, how we got there. The line I always wanted from other people.
Route questions answeredUsually at more length than the post. Ask on the contact page.
