Here you can find every post from Jack's Journal, even the ones I've hidden! 

Jack discusses how to create a sustainable travel rhythm with routines, rest, and slower movement to avoid burnout and make the most of your long-term journey.

I still prefer the classic corrida, but after last night, I won't summarily write off the rejoneo like I have in the past.

It is impossible to fully experience a new destination in just one or two days. Even the sleepiest of towns have more to offer in the way of exploring and atmosphere than just a couple of days' stay will provide. When we rush through new places in the name of "doing" the city or country, we often miss out on "experiencing" the city.

I spent months (about ten) packing, unpacking, and testing my packing list to perfect it before leaving in June of 2023, and even after all that time, I still got some things wrong.

People ask me all the time why I travel. It's not a cut-and-dry answer nor a sound-bite. My reasons are diverse and personal, at the same time simple and difficult to explain. Yet, people look up to me as a seasoned traveller, and many times have sought my input or assistance on starting their own journeys. My advice is always the same: have a why.

"How do you afford it?" The answer is as simple as it is unglamorous: financial discipline. Not hacks, not complicated investment strategies, not collaboration with influencers, just good old fashioned discipline.
