Our Origins & Purpose
What began as handwritten travel notebooks exchanged between four mountaineering friends in 2018 has expanded into 111111—an independent quarterly journal and expedition consultancy. We operate free of commercial brand sponsorships to safeguard unbiased storytelling.
Every trail we profile has been walked on foot. Every guesthouse mentioned has accommodated our scouts. Every seasonal recipe celebrated comes from kitchen conversations with local masters.
Our Four Editorial Principles
Patience First
We encourage spending a week in one mountain valley over rushing through four European capitals.
Ecological Care
We steer readers away from vulnerable, over-trafficked habitats toward resilient, quiet frontiers.
Artisan Custodians
We focus on the human stewards of each landscape: shepherds, ceramicists, tea growers, and mountain guides.
Rigorous Verification
Our navigational checkpoints, permits, and elevation maps are updated and tested each calendar season.
