Nick Haslam
http://www.nickhaslam.co.uk/
Highlights
There are very few periods in Nick's life where he hasn't been travelling, and in the downtime he has taught and written extensively on his adventures. His posts have seen him take up residence in some of the most remote corners of the globe (including a journalism stint in Burkina Faso), all back when the world seemed like a much larger place than it does today.
Why Should Nick Become My New Favorite Writer?
Nick brings an old-school aesthetic to his writing (especially his more exploratory pieces) which is arguably a rare thing to come across nowadays. With over 70 countries in his personal travel history and expertly written material from just about all of them, Nick's work offers something for everyone.
Nick's Articles are deeply engaging. We'd recommend starting with "The Rettir - Iceland's Annual Round Up".

Alexis' decision to give up her job and fearlessly trek through French-speaking Africa is an inspiration and certainly the kind of thing which generates fantastic travel stories.
