The World Travel Guy
Hiking and destination guides from a couple who travel the world full time.
About The World Travel Guy
The World Travel Guy is run by American traveler David Leiter and his wife Intan. David says he has been traveling full time for a decade and the couple have been on the road together for several years; their site shows more than 332 posts since 2023 and claims up to 350,000 readers per month. The blog publishes first-person destination and hiking guides drawn from their trips in Europe, Asia, the Americas and beyond. David states he writes and photographs most content himself, avoids stock photos, holds an FAA drone license, and fills posts with original images and practical trip details.
Rugged, photo-heavy hiking guides that read like a trusted friend narrating a long walk. The writing is direct and anecdotal, full of practical trail details - distances, elevation, parking tips and crowd warnings - and the long, thorough Dolomites post is a good example at over three thousand words. The voice blends gear-up practicalities with travel stories and a few hair-raising moments, which makes the guides feel lived-in rather than textbook. If you want step-by-step hikes, maps and lots of on-trail photography, this is a very satisfying place to plan trips. The site posts roughly once a month and leans into Alps and Indonesia coverage.
