Here's your Chance to Support our Adventure
Exciting news and ways to directly contribute to Mapping Memories
Hello again, fellow travel enthusiasts!
As you already know, here at Mapping Memories, we're all about sharing the ins and outs of our travel adventures, offering you a view of the world we explore. But what if we told you there’s a new way to dive even deeper into this journey with us?
We already hinted at some exciting news in last week’s post, and here it is…
🌟 Introducing Subscriptions on Substack!
We’re super excited to announce that we’ve set up a subscription model on Substack! This means you can now directly support our newsletter and contribute to even bigger, better stories and adventures.
❗️Important note: Mapping Memories will stay free for everybody. We want to inspire your own adventures by sharing helpful tips and heartfelt travel stories. We won’t paywall any of our posts and will continue to provide you your weekly dose of travel-filled escapism.
That being said, if you want to support us - for just 5 euros a month, or a discounted rate of 50 euros a year - you can become an integral part of our travel tales.
What's in it for you?
While we’re still brainstorming the full range of perks (and oh, there are exciting ideas brewing!), your subscription goes beyond just financial support:
🤝🏼 Direct impact: Your support directly funds our upcoming world trip. Every contribution elevates the stories we’ll be able to share and the memories you’ll get first access to!
🤳🏼 Access to our digital products: We have many plans to launch digital products in the future (think travel guides, templates to organize your holiday details & travel apps to make traveling easier and more fun). As a paid subscriber you will always receive first access to any of the digital products we launch in the future. And whenever financially feasible, you’ll get it for free!
Why would you support us?
If you've enjoyed our content and found value in our stories and travel insights, here’s your chance to help ensure we can keep doing what we love.
Every penny of support is massively appreciated and will directly be put towards value-packed stories and tips from our upcoming world trip in 2026. A bigger budget means a longer world trip, which also means more editions of Mapping Memories for you to enjoy 🙌🏼
And until then, we’ll continue to explore as much as possible and share our insights with you on a weekly basis. We will obviously keep doing what we do!
🤓 How it works
Paid subscriptions will go live as soon as we’re back from our Canada adventure on the 1st of June.
Until then, we will enable pledges, which is the ‘Substack way’ of committing to a paid subscription once everything officially launches.
To pledge your support, follow these steps:
Press the button: Update your subscription and choose your preferred method of support. And yes, we appreciate whichever one you decide to go for:
Payment: Enter your payment details - which can be both credit or debit - and the system will do the rest. If you’ve already opted for a paid substack subscription before, your details should be pre-filled already.
Receive our gratitude: Because really, thank you ❤️. We are eternally grateful for your continued support and we’re very excited for this next chapter of Mapping Memories.
If you encounter any issues, let us know! We’re happy to help figure them out.
And again, let’s be clear, Mapping Memories will stay free for everyone. These subscriptions are for those who want to and can contribute more. Think of it as a tip jar, but instead of spare change, you're fuelling a tank that will take us - and you - around the world!
🤔 Good to know
If you happen to change your mind, or we - for whichever unforeseeable reason - decide to stop posting on Mapping Memories (which is definitely not the plan), you can stop your subscription at any point.
It’s a risk-free zone over here with many possible upsides!
🎉 Join Us!
We’re beyond excited for you to play a part in our journey. Your support not only helps us follow our dreams but will also improve the quality and depth of the content we get to create and share.
Thank you for being such an important part of our community. We can’t wait to see where this new chapter takes us.
Happy travels, Hannah and Mike 🌟
