HELLO, I’M GRIFF
Some trips make a story.
Some stories make a trip.
Griff Goes Global is where travel journals meet the practical details that help you go.
I’m Griff. Griff Goes Global began as a place to document travel experiences: the destinations, but also the long journeys, quiet beaches, people met by chance and lessons picked up along the way.
The stories matter here. So does the practical side of making a trip happen. You’ll find personal journals alongside guides and planning resources, with a clear distinction between a memory of a visit and information to check before your own.
Places, people and the parts between
Travel is more than a list of sights. It can be the conversation in a hostel common room, the pause after a long journey, or the small detail you keep thinking about after returning home. This site makes room for those moments as well as the decisions that get you there.
If you are planning a first solo trip, start with Plan a Trip. If you are looking for somewhere to explore, browse Destinations. And if you want a story, the travel journals are a good place to settle in.
A useful starting point
The First Solo-Trip Planning Pack helps turn an idea into a budget, a booking checklist and a first-day plan. For readers who want to write about their own travels, the Travel-Blogger Starter Toolkit starts with the trips and evidence they already have.
Thanks for stopping by. Take a look around, follow a story, and leave a little room in the plan.
How these field notes are made
Personal stories are adapted from the original Griff Goes Global archive. Practical guides distinguish those experiences from current research. Changeable details should always be checked with the relevant official source before committing to a booking.
Travel photographs on this site are credited stock photographs unless expressly identified otherwise. They illustrate the destination and are not presented as photographs Griff took.
