Hi, I'm Nate.

Easy Travel Tips started as an actual scrapbook, boarding passes, festival wristbands, and napkin notes glued into a notebook that got too fat to close. This site is that notebook, minus the glue stick.

Every page here is somewhere I've actually been. Not a listicle stitched together from other people's photos, the real thing: the festivalI'd fly back for, the cities that changed how I travel, and the practical tips I wish someone had handed me before each trip. If a restaurant is in here, I ate there. If a tip is in here, I learned it the hard way.

Right now the book has 1 festival guide published, with destination chapters on Japan, Korea, Portugal, France, Italy, Canada, plus a whole chapter on concerts, still at the printers.

And the real goal? This is a digital scrapbook I'm building for my seventy-something self. One day I want to sit down, open this book, and walk back through every trip, the desert sunrises, the wrong turns, the meals worth a flight, exactly as they felt when I was there. If the tips help you plan your own trip along the way, that's the best kind of bonus.
