A personal travel notebook

Hermes

Small discoveries made on foot, one quiet street at a time.

Leave space on the map

A useful route is not always the shortest. Follow a canal, stop at a bridge and note how the streets fit together. An unplanned turn can make a familiar place feel new.

Walking in changing weather

Carry a light layer and look at the sky before setting out. The same path changes with the wind and the light; there is something worth recording even on a short walk.
