Personal travel blog sharing experiential stories, practical guides and travel photography.
About followsummer
followsummer is a longrunning travelogue led by Gregory George, who launched the project after a year of world travel that began in 2004. The site presents a mix of destination writing, practical guides and travel lifestyle pieces covering food, hotels, wine and flights, and it promises stories, photos and videos for readers. The archive is substantial, with more than 580 posts listed in the sitemap going back to 2012, and the site maintains a steady publishing rhythm of about one new post a month. The blog positions itself as an experiential, firstperson account of living travel.
Reading followsummer is like travelling with a thoughtful companion who notices small sensory details and then unpacks them into useful, full length essays. The writing sample is practical and measured, often running to several hundred words of grounded advice - from city guides like Paris Musts and Dutch day trips to traveladjacent deep dives such as vacation rental investing and retiring abroad. The site rewards readers who like slow, experiential pieces rather than quick listicles, and its archive provides a lot to browse. It also stays active on a modest monthly schedule, so there is a steady stream of new material to check every few weeks.
