Skylar Renslow

Traveler // Writer // Photographer

I'm Skylar — writer, photographer, and what I've started calling a professional interloper.  You can read more about me here.

The Daily Grog is best read late at night with a pour of something good. Most of what I write is free, though roughly one in four posts are for paid subscribers, the folks who keep the work available for everyone and help fund the longer stuff - the pub crawls through England, meeting mezcaleros in the hills of Cabo Corrientes, the conversations with distillers in the West of Ireland, and stories about chefs at the edge of the world.

Paid subscribers also get a random smattering of goodies, including: 

A photo print: shot on the road, printed on quality stock, mailed to your door. I've been told the annual subscription doesn't cover what the print's worth alone, which is probably true, but I'm bad at pricing things.

Guides and Intel: Suggestions on where to eat, drink, and not embarrass yourself. Don’t expect places with a PR team - maybe it’s a seedy dive bar or a Michelin-starred restaurant. Either way, my suggestion incorporates The Grog Index, my statistically flawed, spiritually accurate way of rating a meal.

Meander: An app I’m building for people who'd rather wander than follow an itinerary. With a few inputs you’ll eat, drink, and discover locales you might not have otherwise.

Snail mail: I’ll send you postcards from somewhere on the road because it’s fun and everyone likes mail.

If that's your thing, yearly memberships are 15% off for new subscribers for the first year.
