About the guides

I’m Timothy, a frontend developer from Birmingham who spends as much time as possible somewhere else, usually with a camera and a pair of binoculars.

These guides come from places I’ve actually been. Each one is written after the trip, from notes, photos and the occasional wrong turn. They’re meant to be practical: the order I’d visit things in, how long they really take, and what’s worth getting up early for.

How the guides work

Every guide is a book on the shelf. The cover tells you where it goes, how long the trip is, and how long it takes to read. Inside, you’ll find a day-by-day or stop-by-stop route, with photos from the trip itself.

Photography

All photos are my own. You can find more of them on Flickr and Unsplash.
