Welcome To My Next Chapter

Hello Dear Readers,

​

Welcome back to The Grand Detour or if you’re just joining now, welcome in.

 

This season, I’m trying something a little different. The stories will still be here, unfolding across continents and quiet corners, but they’ll take new shapes; sometimes a handwritten poem, sometimes a video from the road, and sometimes just a few honest words from me to you.

​

I don’t always know where I’m headed, and that’s kind of the point. This isn’t a guidebook or a highlight reel. Instead, it’s a patchwork of moments, stitched together with a taste of my own curiosity, reflection, and the kind of beauty that only reveals itself when we slow down.

​

If that sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, I’d love for you to come along. Sign up for updates, and I’ll keep sending little windows into the journey as it unfolds for my own eyes.

​

More soon,

I’ve gathered a collection of postcards to share a glimpse of the road ahead; each one a stop on this summer’s journey. Use the arrows to follow along.

Notes From The Detour

Consider Donating To The Cause

As I gear up for the next season of The Grand Detour, I’m so excited to keep sharing stories, photos, and moments from the journey with all of you. If you’ve enjoyed following along and feel inspired to support the adventure, I’d be incredibly grateful for any donations to help make this next chapter possible.

Every bit goes toward keeping the posts coming, covering gear, travel logistics, and giving me the time and space to tell these stories well. No pressure at all but if you’re in a position to help, thank you so much. You can donate using the button below or by making an electronic transfer to payments@ethanrussell.ca.
