What is Cleave?
Cleave is a travel snail mail club. Every month, I send you a 7Ă—5 card with one clear take on a different city and full of good finds, plus a small map, a city-inspired coaster and something extra that changes each time. It's $15 a month, with 6- and 12-month plans also available, and ships within the U.S.
What's in each issue?
• The card: A 7×5 double-sided card with the one thing most people get wrong about the city, where to stay, where to eat and what to make time for. Chosen firsthand, never ranked by an algorithm. Nothing is a paid placement.
• The map: A small map of the city with key places and landmarks.
• The coaster: A custom-designed coaster inspired by the city.
• The extra: Something different every issue, like a sticker or a postcard.
Who it's for
People who love travel and discovering cities, whether a trip is coming up or not. If you are tired of spending hours looking at lists and reviews, and you like getting real mail and building a small collection of places, Cleave is for you.
How Cleave is different from other snail mail clubs?
Many snail mail clubs send letters, stories or art. Cleave is about real places: each issue covers one city, with recommendations chosen firsthand by Edgardo Olaizola. No hotel, restaurant or business pays to be included.
