What It Is

For 91 Days is an English-language slow-travel blog run by Mike and Jürgen. Since 2010, the two authors have centered their travels around the idea of staying in each place for 91 days, living in, observing, and writing about different cities and regions around the world. It feels more like a destination magazine from the perspective of long-term travel than a traditional travel booking website.

Core Features

The site mainly offers original travel articles, city and regional journals, photography, video content, and an email Newsletter. Its coverage includes places such as Oviedo, Valencia, Busan, Istanbul, Tenerife, Ghana, Lisbon, Hanoi, Tokyo, Iceland, and Buenos Aires. Unlike conventional travel guides, the authors emphasize firsthand experience, extended stays, and observations of local culture, food, history, and everyday life. The site also mentions that photos are available for licensing or can be produced as framed prints.

Pricing

For regular readers, access to articles and subscribing to the Newsletter appear to be free. Pricing for photo licensing, media use, and prints is not publicly listed in the scraped page content, so users need to contact the site for a quote. As a result, its main value lies not in paid membership, but in content consumption and potential photo licensing.

Pros and Cons

The strengths are its highly original content, with photos and videos created by the authors themselves, giving it strong credibility and a distinctive personal style. The 91-day stay format makes the articles feel more lived-in than short trip reports, making it suitable for understanding the true character of a destination. The drawbacks are that it is not an all-in-one travel tool: you cannot directly book hotels, buy tickets, or plan a complete commercial itinerary. Its coverage is limited by the authors’ travel routes. The English-language content may be a barrier for some Chinese-speaking users, and YouTube videos are generally inconvenient to access in mainland China.

Who It’s For

It is suitable for readers interested in slow travel, digital nomadism, long-term stays, cultural exploration, and travel photography. It is also useful for media outlets, publishers, or content creators looking to license original travel photos. If users simply want to quickly compare prices, book hotels, or read Chinese-language travel guides, large OTAs or Chinese travel communities would be more appropriate.

Access in China

The main article pages are likely to be directly accessible, but its YouTube content is generally restricted in mainland China, and Dailymotion access may also be unstable. Therefore, the overall assessment is “partially restricted.”
