I love enhancing my trips with layovers. But many people don't know how to add them to any flight itinerary... nor that you can often get deals like free hotels! I explain here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBSI...

This summer I travelled to Bulgaria on a whim and I now consider this country wiiiildly underrated. You can see what I mean here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIc1...

Is Cairo the worst airport? This honest take led to quite a lot of drama... I can't believe the Egyptian gov't published CCTV footage of the travel blogger who wrote this! onemileatatime.com/insights/cai...

This guide to the hidden gems in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is, if I say so, a hidden gem in itself. Written by contributor Dustin Kemp who is based in vietnam www.indietraveller.co/ho-chi-minh-...

@bencgtravels.bsky.social Hey! Would love to be in your travel vloggers starter pack. My channel: www.youtube.com/@indietravel...

@thedetoureffect.bsky.social would love to be in your travel blogger starter pack!

For all my travel-loving friends w/questions about how to find each other and curate hobby feeds on BlueSky, I've written up this post: thedetoureffect.com/blog/bluesky...

I see lots of similar questions every day about Starter Packs, Feeds, etc, so I compiled answers that are specific to our crew.

A little introduction: back in 2012 I paused my game industry career to travel the world. I ended up becoming a full-time travel blogger instead. I love adventure travel and keep returning to Southeast Asia and Latin America in particular. I just got back from backpacking in Sulawesi, Indonesia

I like Bluesky being independent of big tech. Not sure if there's a big audience for travel thoughts here (yet), but maybe I'll share something from time to time...
