Subscriptions & Collections
Two ways in. Subscribe to read a rotating library of the journey, a whole region at a time, or buy a collection and own it for good. The Prologue is always free. All prices are in US dollars, and Patreon handles checkout and any sales tax or VAT worldwide, as the merchant of record.
Subscribe: a rotating library
Read a whole region at a time for a small monthly price. The window moves forward every month, so there is always something new, and the higher the tier, the more you hold at once and the faster you read the whole memoir. You do not own these; when you fall for a country, buy its collection to keep it for good. A few episodes cross more than one region, so they belong to each region they touch. Subscribe to a region and you get every episode that visits it, nothing left out.
The journey is four regions. Each month the window moves forward one: a new region rotates in and the oldest steps out. The higher your tier, the wider your window. Watch all three move together, same month, side by side.
One region always sits out until it rotates back in, so no subscription ever holds everything at once. To own it all and keep it, there is the Ambassador. The Prologue is always free.
Subscribe to a region and you get every episode that visits it. A few episodes cross a border, so they belong to more than one region, and you meet them in each.
