Goshuinchō (pronounced “go-shoo-in-cho”) is a traditional Japanese stamp and calligraphy book used when visiting temples and shrines. At each place, visitors receive a unique red seal and hand-drawn inscription, creating a personal record of where they’ve been and the moments of reflection they’ve taken along the way. Over time, the book becomes a kind of travel companion and quiet diary, filled not with words but with marks of the journeys you’ve made.

In Explore & Chill, we’ve borrowed this idea and reimagined it for our own world. Instead of temples and shrines, some of our “stamps” are linked to geocaches and points of calm across the UK. When you find one of these locations, you’ll discover a small stamp in the cache that you can use to mark your own logbook, much like a modern goshuinchō. Other stamps may be linked to special events, retreats, or particular challenges you complete.

The aim is not to collect as many stamps as possible, but to build a gentle record of the times you chose to do something for yourself: a walk you wouldn’t otherwise have taken, a quiet evening under dark skies, a small act of exploration close to home. Each stamp is a reminder that you showed up for yourself that day. Over time, your book becomes a map of tiny, good changes—a physical echo of the journeys that Explore & Chill has invited you to make.
