We don’t have superpowers. We’re just regular people, with phone cameras, who try out travel experiences, gear, get nomad visa etc., and share everything you need to know from experiencing it hands-on.
This is not your average “10 best places I’ve never been to” travel blog. Established in 2022 from two people’s hate for the miserable, grey weather, and frustration with the current blogging world, We Hate The Cold was born with one simple aim – to build a library of real-life experiences, from real people, who live in or travel to the locations they write about, so others can have a reliable source of information to be inspired by.
Why Trust Us?
We only write about things we have done, have used, or have really experienced… really! All our writers are either full-time travellers/digital nomads, local tour guides, or people who actually live in, or have lived in the location you’re reading about.

The Founders
We’re Harry & Iris – and we were tired of the same old “10 best places I’ve never been but I’m writing about for some reason” blog posts. So… we’re two young travelers on a mission to travel the world and share our true, unfiltered experience, including all the gristly details. From packing our life into one bag for a year to traveling Vietnam by motorbike, to sorting out Visas for specific countries – we’ve done it all, are doing it all and only give our advice on things we have done – not regurgitated cr*p from another source *cough* most publications *cough*. So bear with us! This project will take some time to grow, and will take a fair bit of money. But we’re determined to make it the single best source of information about traveling on the internet.
The Writers
Camila is a true adventurer, with a love for hiking, exploration, and also the finer, more luxurious things in life. A tacos al pastor enthusiast, and lover of well-thought-out lodgings, hotels, and the Mediterranean Ocean, she has a passion for exploring the uncovered nooks and crannies of this beautiful blue earth – armed with her orange carry-on backpack. You’ll find Camila writing in detail about all things South America here on WHTC. Anything you need to know from hiking the Inca trail to digital nomad-ing around Latin America to uncovering the great, unknown spots in Brazil (and more) – Camila is here to help carve the path and make traveling easier for all.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help create job opportunities for people to travel, write about what they love, and share the uncovered, true gems of a country that most tourists miss. Therefore we are fixated on creating the most helpful content available online, bound with real insight, real experience, and real knowledge – something you could only get from a local or someone who has lived in a country.
To put it simply, we want this site to be akin to having a local guide with you, but the difference is, that you can access it from your phone, at any time, provided you have a connection.
Our Process Top to Bottom
The content you will find on this site is a direct reflection of the people creating it. We take pride in our hiring process, and our fantastic team of authentic freelancers, who live and breathe this travel stuff. Furthermore, we place a huge priority on hiring writers who have a range of travel experiences. So, for instance, if they’re writing about hiking a certain trail, they’ve hiked that exact trail and have pictures and an experience that can’t be faked to prove it. If they’re writing about a country, they are local or have lived there for more than a year. To put it briefly, our writers live what they write.
We believe that this is necessary to give readers a true, authentic overview of the place, activity, or experience they want to undertake. For example, if you have only traveled in a country for a month, you will never be able to fully understand it, or give the fantastic local recommendations that most tourists miss. This is why we use only writers who have lived in these locations or have traveled to them frequently.
We’re not interested in hiring ‘travelers’ we value creating opportunities for locals, who are able to peel back the layers of the culture, country, and customs better than any traveler who followed a 10-day itinerary online.
On top of all of this, after one of our writers has completed an article, we run it through a further process of fine-tuning to ensure that we create the best, most useful, and helpful article for the world.
