Help Support My Work
People often ask if I get free access to the places I visit. The answer is no—unless I’m invited to a special preview or offered behind-the-scenes access through my media role. Most of the time, I don’t even mention Day Trips Around Rochester, New York when I visit a place. I want to have the same experience you would.
I create and share this content because it brings me joy—and I hope it adds value to your adventures, too.
If my work has helped you explore and appreciate the Rochester area, please consider becoming a paid subscriber on Substack. You’ll receive an email whenever I publish new content and have the chance to connect with a growing community of local explorers.
Thank you for supporting my efforts to keep producing meaningful and helpful content.
Thank you!

Hello David! Reach out to the Wegmans in Newark directly. They keep local passports at the service desk. I’m not certain if they print in large quantities but Wegmans can help! If they do not have enough, they can also connect with the Consumer Affairs department to help you inquire on receiving more. You can also contact Consumer Affairs directly: https://www.wegmans.com/service/contact-us.html
