Your own personal digital travel journal of sorts, you let google maps do all the work for you. i love it for detailed shots of gates and stained glass work, but also great for those beautiful cemeteries or skyline views that you didn’t have enough time to take a picture of. Just have to remember the street intersections!

As a lover of PI.FYI/getting/giving unsolicited recommendations for all things, I recently started sending my google maps pins to people I see traveling to places I've marked a few things. What's better than getting a recco from somebody real and not some dumb watered down sponsored Time Out article about 'Top 5 most instagrammable places in Seoul' etc etc etc. Ew. Here's a list I made while working in London for a month. There is what I like to think a good range from obvious trendy wine bars down to things I stumbled past while ambling around. Plus I think that giving good travel recs gives good travel karma!

saving restaurants, parks, streets, and places in neat little lists and feasting your eyes on the pins when you zoom in and out of the city 🙂↔️

Perfection. Takes 5 mins to make and tastes amazing?? Low effort high reward. Best part for sure is the bottom when it isn't quite fully cooked.

Newspaper archives are great to look at random events and also see how people at the time reacted to them!! Maybe old magazines/films could be cool too?
There are also so many different blogs on Substack which look at different bits of history - like https://www.africanhistoryextra.com/?utm_source=global-search, https://florencehrs.substack.com/, and https://15thcfeminist.substack.com/. Definitely browse on Substack to see what's on offer and what style/topics interest you the most!
For more general blogs, https://publicdomainreview.org/ and https://daily.jstor.org/ look into quite niche topics.
Also the podcast 'The Rest is History' has done loads of episodes on many different topics! Have fun <33
