About Dan Flying Solo

Dan Flying Solo is the personal travel site of Dan, a British travel writer and photographer who started the blog around 2013. Dan spent nearly four years travelling full time between 2014 and 2018, and the site has since grown into a substantial collection of travel guides and stories with more than 300 posts indexed since 2016 and regular new entries. Dan writes first person travel accounts, planning advice and hotel reviews, and contributes guidebook work and articles elsewhere. Posts are illustrated with his own photography and practical, experience-based tips for value-focused travel.

A travel diary with a photographer's eye, Dan Flying Solo reads like a chatty, practical companion who also knows how to frame a scene. Dan mixes long, useful how-to guides and destination lists with hotel reviews and personal anecdotes, so you get both tactical planning tips and the occasional travel story. The recent group-trip guide shows the blog at its best - detailed, witty, and solution oriented - and the photography keeps the pages lively. He publishes a couple of new guides a month, so the site feels active and dependable for trip planning and inspiration.
