Hey, I’m Dan…

...and I'm obsessed with getting lost in new places and meeting new faces. From remote Atlantic Islands full of Penguins, to bustling Italian cities crammed with amazing architecture. I've been lucky enough to turn my passion for travel and photography into my job, and spent four years travelling full time before settling down in Portugal - a far cry from the life I thought I would have when I left my London restaurant managers job. This website is full of my favourite places and people, and stories from the road - I hope it can help you explore the world a little bit better through tips, advice, and personal stories. Safe travels!
