Travelling the world, shooting great photos, and writing compelling stories is a lot of fun, but can also be time-consuming, strenuous and expensive. No wonder travel4stories needs a lot of good travel karma.

Part of it comes from the rewarding encounters with generous people we meet on our way and from the beautiful landscapes we travel by – as well as from the huge gift of being allowed to portray all of that.

Another part comes from the excitement of readers, who sometimes even turn into supporters. If you like our work, please share it on social media like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Spread the word among your family and friends, and stick with us for even greater stories to come.

If you feel really thankful for the impressions and inspiration you get through travel4stories, and you´d like to help us by filling our travel karma cash box, we´re thrilled if you support us, even with a small amount. What goes around, comes around. As proof, we say thank-you for every single donation with a beautiful postcard, mailed directly to your (or a friend´s) physical mailbox. All you have to do is note down the desired address when checking out with our donation form.

You can choose between one-time and recurring donations, choose any amount, and use PayPal, credit card, bank transfer, even Apple or Google Pay. With every penny you keep us on the road and in the mountains.

Donators with a recurring monthly donation get a postcard every month (12 per year), with the greatest motifs from our current locations.

Each postcard contains a short micro-story, a description of the depicted motif including location info, and sometimes a funny or thoughtful anecdote. If you wish, we can also include greetings, a dedication, or anything else you´d like us to write.

Our postcards have a coated front and an uncoated back. There are two sizes available. We always send the big postcards with dimensions of 187.5 x 125 mm (7.5″ x 4.9″), but just let us know if you´d rather like the small ones, which are 150 x 100 mm (5.9″ x 3.9″).

Of course our postcards ship worldwide. As mentioned, it´s possible to have us send postcards as a gift to your friend´s address.

Wanna keep it simple instead & don´t need-want beautiful postcards? You can simply drop us a dime via PayPal:

You can even help us by simply shopping on Amazon. If you click on the button below, you´ll be redirected to their site. For any item you then buy within 24 hours, we receive a small fraction of the price as commission (you don´t pay more).

You can also support us via old-fashioned wire transfer. Just drop us an email (mail@travel4stories.com), and we´ll send you back our bank details.

Apart from sending money or buying something, there are still many other ways you can help:

• Spread the word among family and friends
• Share our donation links and ask your friends to support as well
• Find/provide free/cheap accommodation along the route (see current position)
• Send recommendations for better travel routes and cool places to visit
• Suggest stories to cover and people to portray
• Introduce our work to websites, publications and magazines that may be interested in publishing and purchasing photographs and photoessays
• Refer travel4stories.com and travel4things.com to your company or other companies for sponsored gear
• Follow our Social Media streams and share with your friends

We´re open to collaborations with companys, non-profits and other media – as long as they identify with our goals and ethics, and as long as their products, services and causes match with our own doings.

What we can do

We can write exclusive travel stories, deliver exclusive photography or photo stories, explore a region or a spot exclusively for clients, and even promote products under certain circumstances. Therefore, we make available our website, brand, social media channels and physical or virtual materials. On our own platforms, we always mark cooperations as ads to avoid confusion among our readers.
