— Behind The Trip Tails

It started with a story nobody wrote down.

On a night bus winding out of the mountains, I listened to a stranger tell the best travel story I'd ever heard, better than anything in any magazine. At the last stop, he shook hands and disappeared. So did the story. Nobody ever wrote it down.

The Trip Tails exists so that stops happening. The internet has enough “ultimate guides.” What it's missing is what travellers actually remember: the strangers, the mistakes, the meals, the moments that don't fit a top-ten list. I publish those, carefully edited, beautifully presented, with the traveller's name on every one.

I'm building this one story at a time, with readers and contributors across Europe, Asia and beyond, and an inbox that's open to every traveller on earth. If you've got a tale, I'd genuinely love to read it.
