About Along Dusty Roads
Along Dusty Roads is a personal travel blog run by Andrew and Emily, who left UK jobs to travel and begin publishing in 2014. The site publishes more than a thousand posts covering destinations, guides and longform travel stories, and says it is read by millions. The pair write and curate their own destination guides, practical advice and essays aimed at helping readers travel more and travel better. Responsible and slow travel is emphasised throughout the site, and the editorial projects include themed series such as island features and hiking guides.
A warm, slightly lyrical travel site that reads like a pair of well-travelled friends telling stories over a long table. The voice leans toward narrative and atmosphere as much as practical tips, so you get evocative openings and scene-setting followed by useful route and guide material. The site really shines on island features, hut-to-hut and peak hiking writeups, and European gems - examples include The Island Project, Big Peaks, Dusty Trails, and recent pieces on the Dolomites and Cefalu. It feels curated rather than clickbait, and is best for readers who enjoy richer travel reads alongside usable guides.
