Still Wondering?

When does it arrive?

Your first box arrives in about 5 days. After that, a new box arrives by the 15th of January, April, July and October.

What if I’ve already read them?

Some of the books we write ourselves, so you won’t have seen them anywhere. The rest we hand-pick for each destination with that in mind.

I already have too many books.

These aren’t more for the pile. They’re a reason to read now, set somewhere you want to go.

What if I fall behind?

Two books a season is less than one a month. And they’re yours to keep.

What if I don’t love it?

Your first box has a 90-day guarantee. If something’s off, tell us within 90 days and we’ll make it right.

Do I need a code?

No. The sale price and every gift apply on their own.

Does it renew?

A Year of Travel is paid once a year and renews yearly. Cancel anytime before renewal. Quarterly members can skip, pause or cancel anytime, no fees.

Your Next Trip Starts on the Couch

Picture next week: the box on your porch, the kettle on, the first page of Japan. Up to 50% off and $200 in gifts end 11.30.
