About Wayfare
Slow travel, written slowly
Wayfare is a small newsroom for people who would rather take the night train than the early flight. We publish one long story a week: reported on the ground, photographed on film where we can, and edited without a word count to hit.
No sponsored itineraries, no top-ten lists. If a place is in these pages, one of us went, paid our own way, and would go back.
