Travel Stories From the Road
Real places. Real people. The kind of travel writing you can feel — from Route 66 to the Florida Keys and every small-town surprise in between.
I’m Dan, a freelance travel writer who chases stories across backroads, coastlines, diners, docks, and anywhere that still feels human. I write immersive, narrative-driven pieces that explore the soul of a place — not just the postcard version.
If you like stories with atmosphere, characters, and a sense of motion, you’re in the right place.
