Support the desk

A little warmth, gratefully received.

Cool Weather Compass is a small, one-desk project. I've always dreamed of exploring more of the world — more countries, more slow mornings in unfamiliar cities, more quiet trails — and of eventually finding a true home, which may involve relocating somewhere cooler and more walkable someday.

Support is never expected, but it is deeply and truly appreciated. If you feel moved to leave a tip, it helps make more of that possible: more pictures, more recommendations, and more information and resources added to the site over time — with the aim of making travel a little more accessible for supporters and readers alike.

Tips are one-time and separate from any affiliate links on the site. No account or subscription required.

Leave a one-time tip

Any amount is meaningful. Pick a tier or set your own — tips open in Ko-fi in a new tab.

Pay what you'd like

Whole dollars, please. Minimum $1.

Thank you, sincerely. Warm tea on the desk in your honor.

A few small notes

  • Tips are one-time and processed by Ko-fi. Your receipt comes from them, and payment details are never handled by this site.
  • Tips aren't tax-deductible — Cool Weather Compass isn't a nonprofit.
  • Changed your mind? Full refunds within 30 days — see our refund policy.
  • An email thank-you option is coming soon. For now, know that every tip is read, noticed, and appreciated at the desk.
