Quick Detour from Regular Programming: I Made a Thing You Might Want
Picture this: 5:30am in Morro Bay, frantically searching my phone for a screenshot of directions to where otters play at low tide. A local fisherman had drawn me a perfect little map the day before, showing exactly where to set up before dawn.
Gone. Absolutely nowhere to be found.
Building Something Better
I've been documenting wildlife for Salt + Noelle for years, but apparently documenting my own travels was beyond me. After missing that perfect otter morning (and the golden light that comes exactly once), I finally built myself a proper system in Notion.
Now every precious bit of local knowledge has an actual home. Every "turn left at the driftwood pile" and "park behind the blue house" gets logged immediately. It's been a game-changer for my coastal trips.
What's Actually In This Thing
Beyond basic trip planning, it includes:
185+ hand-picked destinations to spark your wanderlust
80+ pre-filled bucket list ideas
Built-in packing lists sorted by trip type
Daily log templates with prompts for memories and photos
Human Geography section to track people you meet
Pre-trip wellness protocols and post-trip recovery guides
Emergency document vault with fields for critical info
My favorite section tracks the people you meet - I call it Human Geography. Like the state park volunteer who casually mentions where great horned owls roost. Or the bait shop owner who tells you where the harbor seals haul out. These connections are pure gold.
Sharing It Now
After months of refining this for my own trips, friends started asking for copies. Figured I might as well clean it up and make it available. It's $69 for the first 150 people (then $89).
This is literally what I use for every Salt + Noelle adventure. It might work perfectly for you, or you might need something totally different. Either way, you'll never lose another coffee-stained napkin map.
→ Get the template while it's $69 (going up to $89 after the first 150)
Still chasing wildlife and coastal stories over here. This just helps me actually remember them.
