Recasting our travel recording

I’ve been thinking about how our travels are recorded (and displayed) on this site. The way we’ve done it for our first three years seems to work OK, but does feel a little at odds with our “no fixed address” life.

I have two main concerns with it:

  • the whole concept of a “trip” implies start and end points, usually a home base of some sort; and
  • as shown by our recent 107+ day jaunt, a single post quickly becomes *very* unwieldy.

As such, for 2026 we’re going to try something different, and hopefully better/more useful.

Instead of a post per “trip” we’ll put up a post per “place”, i.e. a location where we stay. As we know from experience we frequently double (and more) up on these visits, we’ll add a year and month to the post title, e.g. Granville—202601

As we get a few under our belt we’ll look at some summary pages showing the info in a few different ways.

We trust that you enjoy 2026 as much as we plan to 😁
