The best Personal Diary newsletters

A personal travel diary written by an American expat living in the Netherlands, mixing everyday life with a neighbour, outings to secondhand shops and cafes, and visits from friends and family. It reads as a warm, chatty account of settling into Dutch life with photos and anecdotes from trips around the country.

A short personal diary-style newsletter from an artist named Mashaan, with brief reflections on family, work, gaming and gratitude. It offers little beyond the author's daily life and short aphoristic lines.
