travel writer Will Peach

Ubiquitous posey shot…

“I’ve blocked that person” – Matt Kepnes, Nomadic Matt

“Tell Will Peach he’s an asshole for me” – Deb Bouskill, Planet D

“He’s not allowed in the Blog House” – Michael Hodson, Go See Write

“I can’t decide whether Will Peach is a certifiable genius or an undoubted moron” – John O’Nolan, Travelllll.com

“Please leave me alone and stop contacting me” – Simon Reeve, BBC TV presenter, journalist and travel writer

——————————————————————————————————————

My name is Will Peach and I am a travel writer. I differ from most others in beauty, youth and the crucial fact that I don’t take myself too seriously.

About This Website

Some of what you’ll read on this site might be entirely fabricated, some of it might be extremely embellished and some of it might be depressingly true. Whatever you take from it, I hope you’ll see that the world is out there for the taking.

This site has been a long time in the making. Having purchased the domain in early 2010, it was first used as a place to profile my magazine writing and other creative pursuits.

Now my goal is to turn it into one of the biggest independently-voiced travel sites on the net.

My travel niche is that of the slow, continuous type.

Much like I like my sexual partners.

When I can find them.

About My Style and Philosophy

I started out travelling and writing seriously while living in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. There a magazine took pity on me and allowed me to run my potty mouth and crazy experiments between their monthly covers on a regular basis. That was back in 2009. In 2012 I began to take the pursuit of being a travel writer seriously (or not seriously as the case may be) and that’s when the current site you’re reading came into existence.

My travel philosophy is pretty simple. I can’t beat experts on history, book writers on practical advice or loose girls on perspective. Therefore I won’t bother. Instead I’ll just focus on keeping it as “real” as I can. And blow as deep as I want to blow.

My style is crafted on what I think would be fun to read. That’s it.

Oh and if you’re wondering what I look like naked have a look here.

Only if you’re wondering though…

    Man are you twisted and unserious. I really like that in a travel writer.

    I’d like to invite you to come share your bons mots at our travel social network Tripatini.com, which in addition to attracting thousands of travel junkies from 120+ countries is also pretty heavy on travel writers/editors and industry pros. Great for both networking and getting the word out about your sites. Give us a try!

    And have a twisted, unserious weekend…. :)

    Hi Will,

    I just googled you and came across your website as I wanted to give you a big thanks.
    I randomly came across your article on ‘How to Travel Java to Bali Overland’ on the web, and being a solo girl traveller, it has helped me endlessly with knowing where to go, how to get there, and various eats and sleeps!

    So thank you!

    Ali x
