Read review →We're Jan & Emma.
We're a Norwegian travel couple drawn to the parts of a trip that make you want to stay longer — from high mountain days to life below the surface.
Together we've travelled through more than 34 countries, and we've learned that the most useful travel advice usually comes from what happens after the itinerary is booked.
We're both scuba certified, love everything from hiking and road trips to diving, and use this site to turn our own research, mistakes and favourite finds into better trips for other travellers.
Questions, ideas or collaborations?
Trip questions, media enquiries or collaboration ideas — we'd love to hear from you.
Planning a destination we've written about, curious about something from our Journal, or just want help thinking through a trip? This form is for that too — not only for brands.
If you run a hotel, travel company, tourism board or travel-related brand, you can also use the same form for collaborations, guide partnerships and content ideas.
