  • Preferring to be a traveller instead of a tourist, Byron seeks out local hot spots and lesser known local haunts that leaves readers with a sense of "being there".
  • He strives to instill a confidence in readers about their personal trip planning through thorough and honest research, from crafting the ideal travel itinerary to finding the very best places to stay, eat, and explore.
  • Byron has written articles exploring the benefits of being a digital nomad, wild COVID travel stories, a review of his visit to a luxury hotel, as well the cost of become an expat homeowner in The Bahamas.
