STAMPS & SAGAS

Real routes • Real costs • Honest verdicts

Trips planned like a spreadsheet.Told like a story.

Hi, I'm Tanya, an actuary who plans trips like spreadsheets (because they are). This is Kekdu, my alter ego. Here you get what our trips actually cost, what was worth it, and what we'd skip.

How Stamps & Sagas works

A stamp for every place. A saga for what really happened.

Real costs

Every payment, in euro, as it left our bank account. Not a 'from €99' in sight.

Honest verdicts

Worth it or skip it. Kekdu, my alter ego, says what I'm really thinking.

Plans you can copy

The actual spreadsheets we travel with, cleaned up and free. Change a cell, the maths updates.

The passport so far

Every trip gets a stamp.

New sagas get the full story. Older trips come back as throwbacks, scored and ranked, because of course I kept the spreadsheets.

  • ★ Stamp 01 ★Switzerland
  • ★ Throwback ★London
  • ★ Throwback ★Germany
  • ★ Throwback ★Amsterdam
  • ★ Throwback ★Morocco
  • ★ Throwback ★Donegal
