About Travels of Adam
Travels of Adam is the personal travel and lifestyle site of Adam Groffman. Adam quit his design job in 2010 to travel around the world, later lived in Berlin and now writes from New York City. The site has accumulated more than 880 posts since 2010 and covers trip reports, city guides, practical travel advice and occasional lifestyle pieces. Adam funds work through advertising, occasional partnerships and past freelance earnings. The site leans toward text-rich, practical guides and essays rather than image-heavy photo galleries.
A clear, personable travel voice that mixes hipper city essays with unglamorous, useful planning advice. Reading Adam feels like catching up with a well travelled friend who remembers names of bars in Tokyo and the easiest way to funnel money into a travel fund. His long, practical pieces - from a detailed finance guide to after-dark Tokyo and a former local's defense of Berlin - are thoughtful and thorough, not listicle-lite. The site is active, with roughly three posts a month and an archive approaching nine hundred entries, so you can both dip in for a quick tip and dive deep into older travel essays and how-tos.
