Born From Quiet Valleys & Long Conversations
Founded in 2021, 111111 emerged as an antidote to listicle tourism. Our contributors—including anthropologists, nature photographers, and master sommeliers—travel without corporate sponsorships that dictate coverage.
Every itinerary tested has been traversed on foot, by rail, or via local ferry routes. We believe genuine discovery happens when itineraries allow for unstructured afternoons and unscripted exchanges with residents.
Core Pillars
Principles Guiding Every Dispatch
Slow Pacing
We advocate staying in one region for an extended duration, minimizing domestic air hops, and fostering authentic regional understanding.
Ecological Sensitivity
Highlighting properties implementing regenerative agriculture, closed-loop water treatment, and land conservation trusts.
Honest Gastronomy
Focusing on family-run vineyards, historic fermentation traditions, and hyper-seasonal foraged fare cooked over open flame.
