About Dave

12 Posts

Ever since my first solo trip, I realized travel isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I’m Dave Franco, an award-winning travel writer and photographer based in Switzerland. I believe every journey tells a story, and every destination adds a new chapter to life’s grand adventure.

I love mountains, deserts, camping, hiking, wildlife, and those cold, forgotten places that few explore. With 5+ years as a writer for Your Travel Trailer, I’ve created dozens of travel guides and ideas while visiting countless corners of the world. From Himalayan peaks to Indonesian temples and Croatia’s stunning beaches, I feel honoured to explore our planet.
