Meet John
John is the writer behind Travel Route Blog. After trading a desk job for a backpack and a one-way ticket, he spent the following years travelling through Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and beyond.
His guides focus on the decisions that shape a real trip: how to build a sensible route, what a destination may cost, where extra time is worthwhile, and which common mistakes can make travel harder than it needs to be. The aim is practical guidance for independent travellers—not a checklist copied from a brochure.
