This 100%.

I have to say, though, that this is exactly why I became interested in travel storytelling in the first place.

I’ve watched how my relationship with travel has changed over time. I now detest “top 10 things to do” lists and superficial Instagram captions.

I think deep, meaningful, long-form travel stories are becoming more popular again.

Old-school travel writing, the adventure-driven books and explorer stories we used to love, is SO BACK!
