Before you join

What's shared

Questions before a trip ("is Hampta Pass open in June?"), photos and notes from the road, new essays when they are out, and now and then a TE Journeys trip.

How often

A few messages a week, not a hundred a day. Mute it if you like; nobody minds.

House rules

  • Be kind, and keep it about travel.
  • No ads, promotions or chain forwards.
  • No political or religious debates.
  • Ask before sharing someone's photo.

Messages that break these are removed; people who keep breaking them are removed too.

Your phone number

WhatsApp shows your number to everyone in the group. Travelescape never shares or sells numbers, and you can leave any time from the group's info.
