Collab
Hello, friend. If you're here, you probably want to do something together — and so do we. We love nothing more than discovering new places, falling in love with little hotels, and writing about all of it. If your brand, agency, or destination wants to be part of that story, you're in the right spot.
We'd love to work with you if you're...
...a boutique hotel or guesthouse with a soul, the kind of place where the owner remembers your name on day two. A travel agency putting together itineraries that aren't just airport-to-resort-to-airport. A tour operator running something we'd actually book ourselves — a day trip, a food walk, a quiet hike. A tourism board wanting to show off your region to slow travelers who'll come back and tell their friends. Or a travel-adjacent brand — luggage, gear, apps, insurance — that fits naturally into how we travel.
The size of the operation doesn't matter to us. The fit does.
What we can do together
The fun part. We can write long-form sponsored stories in our editorial voice — the same one you've been reading, photo-heavy and honest. We can host you for a stay or experience and write about it like we write about everything else. We're up for ongoing partnerships with brands we genuinely use, newsletter mentions, social cross-posts, affiliate arrangements, and the occasional weird idea we haven't thought of yet. If you have something in mind that isn't on this list, tell us anyway — the best collabs usually don't fit a template.
Our one ground rule
We only write about places we've actually been, food we've actually eaten, and products we'd actually recommend to our parents. If we don't love it, we'll tell you — kindly, but honestly — before any content goes out. Sponsored work is always clearly disclosed to our readers. That trust is the whole reason this thing works.
Say hi
