About Orbisvitae Almanac

Orbisvitae Almanac has published since 2019. We write about going places, open air, costs and eating well, with a bias toward advice that still holds up months after the novelty has worn off.

How we work

We buy what we test and we live with it before writing about it. Where a recommendation depends on circumstances, we say so rather than pretending a single answer fits everyone.

• We prefer the boring option when it is the correct one.
• We revisit older articles when the underlying advice changes.
• We say plainly when we have not tested something ourselves.

Who writes here

Rowan Quill, Staff Writer. Rowan writes about the practical end of costs, and tests everything before writing about it.

Jonah Penrose, Managing Editor. Jonah has spent the last decade covering going places, and prefers the boring answer when it is the correct one.
