FIELD NOTES

The travel stories we'd tell you over dinner.

The best trips aren't just about where you went. They're about the bizarre, brilliant and occasionally ridiculous moments that happen along the way.

Irregularly scheduled. Regularly entertaining. Because travel is even better with a good story.

ABOUT US

JS Profile Pic_950px_Sq_84kb.jpg

We’ve spent 17 years proving that 'authentic travel' doesn't have to mean roughing it.

 

We’re Shal and James: adventure co-conspirators who believe the best travel stories happen somewhere between a freezing fjord swim and a perfectly mixed negroni.
