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.

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

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.
