Journeys

Routes worth stealing

Editorial itineraries you can clone into a living trip on the 3D map — written by people with opinions about which coast is the better one.

Featured route

Costa Rica, the Other Coast

A five-, seven-, or ten-day Costa Rica route that argues the Caribbean side is the country and the Pacific side is the country's service economy. Both have their place; one is the better trip.

  • Sea stacks and a wooded shore on the Olympic Peninsula coast.

    Hoh, Rialto, and the 6:10 Ferry

    A three- to five-day Pacific Northwest route from the Olympic Peninsula to the San Juan Islands. The post is about ferry-paced travel and a rain you plan around rather than against.

  • Sun setting over Icelandic cliffs and ocean along the south coast.

    Iceland, Clockwise

    A five-, seven-, or ten-day Icelandic route taken in the direction the rental operators do not recommend. The post argues that the country reads from north to south, with the south coast earned rather than opened.

  • Light falling through a slot canyon in Antelope Canyon, northern Arizona.

    Sedona to Zion, by Way of the Canyon

    A three- to five-day desert route from Sedona through the Grand Canyon and Page to Zion. The post takes the Southwest in the order it asks: early light, far driving, long stillness.

  • The Marina Bay Sands and the Singapore skyline at twilight.

    Southeast Asia, by altitude: Singapore to Bali via Chiang Mai

    A three-country route that climbs and then falls across distinct landscape zones: equatorial city, highland valley, volcanic island. Built for travelers who want a Southeast Asia trip with a shape, not a checklist.

    10–21 days · 3 stops

  • A southern Italian city with a mountain rising behind it.

    Three Italys and a Ferry

    A seven-, ten-, or fourteen-day descent through Italy south of Rome. The post treats the Mezzogiorno as three geographies (volcanic, limestone, island) rather than one south.

    7–14 days · 5 stops

  • A mountain range with a plume of smoke rising from a volcanic peak.

    Tokyo, Kyoto, and the Case for Kyushu

    A seven-, ten-, or fourteen-day first Japan trip that holds Tokyo and Kyoto but argues for Kyushu in place of the standard Osaka leg. The strait is twenty minutes wide and the country changes on the other side.
