We've been quiet for the past few months — maybe you noticed (shout-out to my mom), maybe you didn't! Either way, we still love you for being here and reading this now.
Like many people, we've been learning a lot lately about ourselves and our relationship with being online so much. We originally started this venture with the idea of creating a print, analog magazine, but created the newsletter (Where's the Bathroom?) as a way to find our voice, test writing ideas, and build an audience in the meantime. It turns out, if you focus too much on your newsletter, you get caught up in the pace of the internet and lose the time and energy to actually try to make something in print.
So, Natalie and I have been working to find the best next steps for us and Good Trip that allow us to continue creating a lively travel guide for the culturally curious, but in a way that feels much more creatively energizing and stimulating. We don't have 100% set plans to share just yet, but we're reorienting ourselves back to the idea of creating something in print, and if we do anything online, making sure it feels fun, fresh, and not optimized for the algorithm.
We'd love for you to stick around with us on this next part of the Good Trip journey. This email list is the best place to stay posted on updates.
If you want to get involved further or have any ideas of what you'd like to see, let us know!
Before you go…
When's the last time you got a fun piece of mail? If you share your address with us here, we might send you a little surprise in the new year 📬
