Free Travel Inspiration & Guides Sent Right to Your Inbox
We are coming up on nearly 4 months of my (free) Pale Ale Travel newsletter going live. Side note: I’m not sure why I said ‘We’ when it’s just me…Big Body. And, I’m proud of it. I know when I first published this announcement about the newsletter, there wasn’t much to show for it.
So, I thought I would give you all some better insight into what it looks like and what you can expect 3-4 times per month (right to your inbox) – completely free.
Destination Spotlights 🌎
I want to keep things simple with this newsletter. I also don’t want it to be an exact regurgitation of what I publish on this primary blog. Further, I want to help put new destinations on your radar that you may have never contemplated traveling to.
Each month, I select 3 to 4 destinations I’ve traveled to and provide a comprehensive breakdown of what you absolutely have to see when visiting, what you should eat, some hidden travel gems, and my personal tips (based on a lot of trial and error).
The proper term might be ‘wanderlust’ but that always feels a tad cliché. I simply want you to start thinking about your next trip and have several formidable options to choose from. I also want you to have a solid starting point when it comes to mapping out your trip.
Here are several of my favorite Destination Spotlights to date:
- From🛕Temples to Tuk-Tuks🛺, This 🇰🇭Cambodian City Isn’t For the Faint of Heart
- This 🇸🇰Slovak City on the Danube is Where Royal Coronations👑 Meet 🛸UFO Towers
- This 2,000-Year-Old City on the 🚠‘Romantic Rhine’ Throws a Legendary Annual 🎭Carnival
Honestly, I’m having a blast writing these. They aren’t just a way for me to help you find a new travel destination that piques your interest but they are also a vehicle to help me remember the incredible places I’ve been and most important, the incredible people I met (or met again) along the way.

The Weekly Travel Tea 🫖
The Weekly Travel Tea is really whatever I want it to be.
But I try to stay within the parameters of (a) providing you with one or more PDF-style travel itineraries of destinations that I’ve previously written about or plan to write about, (b) neighborhood spotlights (for areas of a destination that are of particular interest!), and (c) eating guides.
When you touch down at whatever destination that happens to be, I want you to be ready to live that dolce vita. You’ll know where to go, how much time to spend where, where and what to eat, how to do it in style, and more.
I also may link to blog posts on this main site that I’ve recently published that I think are of some interest to the readers.
To get a feel of what the Weekly Travel Tea looks like, here are a few that I think ‘pop’:
- The Weekly Travel Tea 🫖: a Hocus Pocus 🧙♀️Travel Itinerary Hodgepodge🧪
- The Weekly Travel Tea 🫖: 2-Day Antwerp🇧🇪Travel Itinerary (PDF Inside!)
- The Weekly Travel Tea 🫖: 2-Day Poznań🇵🇱 Travel Itinerary (PDF Inside!)
My goal with each newsletter I send is to provide you with at least one little nugget of actionable information or ‘hardware’ to take away, store for later, and use for your next trip. I’m not here to frivolously send emails just to send them.

Join the Fam & Let’s Make That Next Trip a Reality
Like I’ve written several times prior, I’m at a point in my life where I have all the time in the world to create. And I plan to do so to the best of my ability. I’m a human, not a production line, so I will always strive to put out the highest quality content I can. And, it will always be authentic.
If the above types of content sound like something that interests you, I’d love to have you on board.
Once again, it’s completely free to subscribe!
If it’s not something that tickles your travel fancy, that’s completely alright. I’m just appreciative that you are taking the time to read this post and have read one or two (or more) other articles on the site!
If you have any questions about traveling to the destinations I’ve written about on either this blog or in my newsletter, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at info@palealetravel.com.
Finally, if there are any particular destinations or types of content you’d like to see, I’m more than happy to prioritize them. Just shoot me a message!
Travel well everyone,
Big Body
Big Body is a voracious lov…eater, a cowardly fighter, and a self-proclaimed curry goat BBQ-eating champion (don’t forget the donkey milk) who likes Stoicism, baseball, and writing in the third person. Having worked for himself for the last 7 years, he isn’t particularly successful but he does still drink ice-cold Sapporo draft beers with the best of them and knows his way around a Dai Pai Dong or two. He is based in Hong Kong but you can still find him in Saigon, Osaka, and Vienna for extended periods.
