 TRAVEL TRAMP

Travel Off The Beaten Track


AWARD-WINNING TRAVEL WRITING.




WELCOME TO TRAVEL TRAMP



Hello there, I’m Richard, the Travel Tramp. Award-winning blogger and
professional travel writer.

I write blogs with a dash of journalism, as I travel to the world’s most curious
destinations in search of intriguing people and untold narratives.   

I love using long form features and interesting characters to answer the deeper
questions about politics, history and identity that we’re confronted with when
we travel. Why is Cyprus divided? Why does are there so many breakaway
territories in the Caucasus? And why is Muslim-Chinese food so popular in
Kyrgyzstan?   

You’ll find stories of guerilla fighters, micronations and refugees from El
Salvador and Honduras to East Timor and the Philippines. There’s history,
geopolitics, overland travel, border crossings and plenty of food. All the
things that make travel so fascinating.

Richard Collett, October 2021.
