Trip Stories

The long way round, one road trip at a time. Written from our own notes and photographs, with the route drawn on the map.

Trip Stories

Every trip on the map was reconstructed from the dates and places in our own photographs. These are the ones we have sat down and written.

They are travelogues rather than essays: where we went, what happened, what we would do again. Each one links back to its own route, so you can watch the line get drawn across the country while you read.
