Hi there - we just published a new essay.

The general idea is that “doing what the locals do” is not a very good piece of travel advice. In this essay, we propose a few alternatives and ideas about better travel.

Read it here.

Until next week,

- Carter and Jordan

P.S. This is the last time we’ll tell you about it, but the submission window for DEAR ALIENS (our writing contest) closes on May 15th. You could still write something this week and send it in :) It’s been good to see so many submissions come in through the mail; we would love to see some of yours.
