I'm Phil and I'm a travel writer, photographer and content creator from Cambridge, UK. Travel is both my profession and my passion and I tell stories from the people and places I have visited across over 110 countries. My writing and photography has been published in BBC Travel, The Independent, Travel & Leisure and Food, Wine & Travel Magazine amongst others. My bylines are diverse, covering destinations from Tuscany to Tucson to Turkmenistan. I specialise in cultural, outdoors and LGBTQ+ travel and I always aim to showcase destinations through local voices which capture the joy and essence of a place so readers feel compelled to visit for themselves. My own blog is called Someone Else's Country, which is aimed at busy professionals who are low on time but high on wanderlust. They want independent cultural, culinary and outdoor adventures, not just 'bucket list' checklists. Popular series include 'Second Time In…' for returning visitors and 'Go Where Others Don't' which spotlight lesser known – but no less intriguing – attractions for returning and first-time visitors respectively. You can also follow my wanderings on Instagram, Facebook and Bluesky.
