A page to let others know where you are.

About /where pages

In 2015, Derek Sivers thought of a way for people with personal websites publicly declaring their priorities. He called it the now page. Today, many personal websites have a now page.

I've built on Derek's idea. People with personal websites should also be able to publicly show where in the world they are at any given moment. I call it the "where page".

Why do you need a /where page?

Here are some use cases for you to introduce a where page to your personal website:

• You are travelling around the world.
• You are a digital nomad.
• You are commuting between places for work.

You might be interested to let others know where you are. Maybe you'd like to meet up somewhere? In my case, I'm travelling for a whole year.

My friends can use my where page to always check in which country I am.

Adding your own /where page

Do you have a personal website? If so, you can consider introducing you own where page. It's simple:

1. Create a page and add a section.
2. In this section, write the name of the place where you are right now.
3. It could be a country, a city, a place inside of a city, whatever suits your needs.
4. If you're feeling fancy, add a featured images to visualize your current location. Don't forget that Alt Tag.
5. Make this page accessible by adding "/where" after your domain name. Find examples below.
6. Always update your where page with your current location.

I hope that in the future many personal websites will have where pages.
