Hello, this is Tristan, the owner and partial namesake of tristan.travels. This all started out as an Instagram passion project and evolved the more I traveled. I wanted to share the stories of what I have experienced and as well as give tips and advice about how to travel to places that I have been. This includes everything from transportation options to safety to food recommendations.

  In addition to advice, I wanted a new platform that allowed for me to discuss the deeper context for some of my most memorable experiences than what Instagram and other social media sites allow. By relaying the stories behind some of the most interesting things I see, people I meet and experiences I have, my goal is to help people become more receptive to other perspectives and hopefully provide inspiration for people to travel more.

  What makes my experience unique in the travel space is that I am not a full-time traveler and I have had to juggle traveling with college, home life and work which all have their own financial and time commitments. From solo backpacking in the Middle East to camping in the United States I am driven by a curiosity which leads me to see more and know more from dense cities to barren, isolating landscapes.
