[ SAY SOMETHING ]

TELL US
WHERE YOU WENT.

A route worth walking, a place we got wrong, a story you want to write for the journal. We read everything, and we answer the ones that ask a real question.

[ BEFORE YOU WRITE ]

WHAT WE ANSWER,
AND WHAT WE DO NOT.

One inbox, two people, and no assistant.
Being clear about this saves us both a round trip.

A place we got wrong

A hut that closed, a path rerouted, a lake with a car park where the field used to be. Corrections get priority over everything else in the inbox, and the piece gets edited with a note saying what changed.

Always answered

A story you want to write

One paragraph on the place and one on what happened there. Not a pitch deck and not a finished draft — we would rather read the idea than the execution. Photographs help but are not required.

Answered within a week

A question about a route

When to go, whether the pass is open, whether a walk is manageable with children. We answer what we actually know and say so plainly when we do not.

Answered if we know

Sponsorship, link exchanges, guest posts with a backlink

We take no money from the places we write about, and no payment for a mention. The independence is the only thing making the recommendations worth reading.

Not answered

What happens after you send

The message lands in one inbox that both of us read. There is no ticketing system, no autoresponder and nobody whose job it is to triage you — which is why a reply takes two days rather than two minutes, and why it is written by the person who knows the answer.

If you are pitching, expect a real response either way. A no comes with a reason, because a pitch rejected without one teaches you nothing and we have both been on that end of it.

If you would rather not use a form

Write directly to hello@ailleurs.co. It reaches exactly the same place. The form exists because some people prefer it, not because it does anything clever.
