Travel Guide for Stateless People (taejun.substack.com)
I’m not sure how many frequent travelers actually travel without a passport, so I don’t know how many people will benefit from this post. Still, here’s a guide for stateless travelers. Please note: this is not legal advice, and I take no responsibility for any outcome if you follow these suggestions. That said, I hope it helps.

One Last Ride for Antarctica's 'Ivan the Terra Bus' (atlasobscura.com)
Everyone in Antarctica knows Ivan. Even those that haven’t had the pleasure of riding inside of him—in comfortable seats, surrounded by wood paneling and the pleasant sounds of jazz warbling from his internal speakers as he rumbles slowly along the ice—have heard of him and probably walked right past him, sitting pretty near McMurdo Station’s cafeteria in his iconic orange-and-white livery.

Strava Bans User for Running in North Korea (dcrainmaker.com)
On the list of quirky things, I didn’t have “Strava bans user for running in North Korea” on my bingo card today. But here we are. I’ve just spent the last hour going down the rabbit hole that is the Pyongyang Marathon (in North Korea), and it turns out – it’s a thing. As in, as thing that outsiders come and run. There’s even an official website for it. In fact, there’s been 31 editions of it.
