Travel Research Tip
A lot of travel writers have moved to Substack because it lets them write what they want and reach readers directly. If you're looking for thoughtful first-hand accounts and longer-form travel writing, it's become one of the best places to find it. You’ll find writers who aren’t trying to sell you something or chase clicks, which makes it easier to get a sense of what a place is really like.
