Landon Clements has a new Substack newsletter on the way. The writer announced “Everywhere to Eat, Sleep, Play” on Instagram this week, calling the project “extra fun” to put together and adding a cowboy hat emoji that set the mood right from the start.
His caption was brief: “New @Substack This one was extra fun.” No polished launch language, no elaborate rollout. For a creator who already calls Substack home, that relaxed approach suits the platform’s spirit. Substack was built around direct connection between writers and readers. A casual, enthusiastic announcement fits.
The title signals exactly where this newsletter is headed. “Eat” covers food content – restaurant recommendations, local finds, and the places that deserve more attention than they usually get. “Sleep” points toward travel and lodging picks, the part of trip planning that eats up the most time. “Play” handles everything else: activities, experiences, and all the things that make a destination feel worth the visit.
Together, the three words make a clear and appealing pitch. It’s a curated lifestyle guide for people who want solid recommendations without spending hours on research.
Clements already has an established presence on Substack, so this isn’t a first step into independent publishing. Giving the new newsletter its own distinct name and identity suggests it has a specific focus – something a little different from his other work.
The “extra fun” framing stands out in the best way. Most project announcements lean on words like “excited” or “proud of this work.” Clements went with “fun,” which is a more direct and honest-sounding choice. Genuine enjoyment in the creative process tends to show up in the finished product. That’s always a good sign.
Substack has become a strong home for independent lifestyle content. In the food and travel niche especially, readers seek out specific voices. They want someone who’s actually visited the restaurant, stayed at the hotel, and formed a real opinion. A writer walking in with that kind of enthusiasm is a solid and encouraging starting point.
The independent newsletter space has grown considerably in recent years. Creators focused on food, travel, and lifestyle have been building loyal readerships outside of traditional media. Clements stepping into that space, describing his project as genuinely fun, is a good look.
He didn’t share subscription details or a launch date in the Instagram post. Anyone looking to follow “Everywhere to Eat, Sleep, Play” can search for it directly on Substack.
That “extra fun” label is a promising sign. Clements clearly enjoyed making it, and that tends to show.
