The Planet D
A husband-and-wife travel blog offering destination guides, itineraries and adventure stories.
About The Planet D
The Planet D is run by Dave and Deb, a married couple who turned full-time travel into a career after a life-changing series of adventures beginning in the mid 2000s. They started their blog after long exploratory trips and endurance challenges, and over the years have visited more than 130 countries on all seven continents. The site hosts more than 1,400 posts since 2010 and attracts over one million readers a month. The blog delivers destination guides, detailed itineraries, bucketlist experiences and practical travel tips, and many posts are illustrated with their own photography and occasional embedded video.
What makes The Planet D feel like its own place is the voice of two seasoned travellers who write like teammates plotting the next big trip. Their long-form pieces are detailed and practical, full of clear takeaways and step-by-step advice - the QR code scam post reads like a travel-safety masterclass with a tidy table of contents, many photos and useful links. The site is strongest for destination guides, hands-on itineraries and safety tips, and it leans on photography and videos to illustrate experiences. New material appears at a steady, measured pace so the archive gets deeper rather than flashier.
