Welcome to Travel Shortlist!
Welcome to Travel Shortlists, where we will do deep dives into traveling and hidden gems, from the nuances of getting around places, to the complexities of traveling from point A to B. Travel Shortlists will point you to specialty coffee shops, local eateries, sunset spots, and everything worthy in between.
I'm Igor, most likely you know me as @igorrr from IG. I’m thrilled to get you excited and interested in traveling with me!
A bit about me: I'm a solo slow traveler and yoga teacher from Tel Aviv.
Over the last 10 years, I have visited more than 60 countries and I love the feeling and excitement of arriving in a new country, city, or neighborhood.
I am trying my best to travel responsibly by preferring local businesses over international chains, moving around by public transport, packing light, and keeping it low waste. In recent years, I have tended to travel slow to "unlock" the "real" experience and see how locals live.
In September 2022 I left my job to travel full-time around the world.
This Substack is absolutely free, but you can always show your support and buy me a coffee.

Submitting questions. I love to cover topics that are of interest and relevant to people, so please comment on posts or send me your questions! You can always send me a DM on IG, reply to newsletters, or just message me.
Posts. I plan to send out one to two publications a month. Depending on the month and my travel plans, there may be shorter pieces that address more specific topics other than overall guide posts.
