About The Crowded Planet
The Crowded Planet is a travel blog run by Margherita and Nick, an Italian writer and an Australian photographer. They created the site in February 2014 to share their passions for nature, wildlife and sustainable adventure travel. Their travels have taken them to more than 85 countries, and the site now contains over 575 posts covering destination guides, cycling and hiking itineraries, city-nature features and sustainability-minded experiences. The authors emphasise high-quality photography and first-person storytelling, and they publish practical, long-form guides aimed at readers who want active, responsible travel ideas.
What sets The Crowded Planet apart is a nature-first curiosity paired with useful, no-nonsense travel advice. We found the writing clear and conversational, the data-plan piece reads like a seasoned traveller explaining why a stable connection matters, using concrete examples from busy European hotspots. The site excels on active-travel and sustainability topics, with strong cycling guides, regional day trips around Milan, and thoughtful features like sustainable experiences in Ravenna. Posts are long-form and practical, so even though updates come only a few times a year, each article feels bookmark-ready for planning real trips.
