Trip Guides & Travel Notes

Personal travel guides and notes from my adventures

About These Guides

Welcome to our travel time machine! Here you'll find guides from our trips past, present and future - some are meticulously planned upcoming adventures (so I get to play amateur travel agent for my partner, the "Travel Princess"), some are being actively field-tested right this minute, and others are helping to preserve our memories of trips gone by.

Each guide features our carefully researched day-by-day plans, real-time discoveries as we explore, and those magical "how did we find this place?!" recommendations we'll still be talking about years later. They're not sponsored by anyone – just our travel roadmaps that evolve from planning spreadsheets to lived experiences.

So take what works for your style, add your own flavor, and don't forget to shoot me an email at chris@chrisaug.com if something from our trip guides makes your trip more magical. Happy wandering!
