Preston F. Paradise

I am Paradise, a dedicated travel guide author, passionate explorer, and lifelong advocate for cultural discovery. With over 35 years of experience traveling the world, I’ve had the privilege of writing extensively about destinations that range from well-known cities to hidden gems off the beaten path. My goal is simple: to inspire others to explore, understand, and appreciate the diverse and vibrant cultures that make our world so unique.

My journey as a travel writer began with a fascination for how places both familiar and unfamiliar shape the people who live there. Armed with a background in geography, history and cultural studies I combine detailed research with personal experience, offering readers insightful and practical advice, along with rich storytelling that brings each destination to life.

Throughout my career, I’ve contributed to numerous travel guides, articles, and online platforms, focusing on creating engaging, informative content that serves both seasoned travelers and first-time explorers. My books, have been praised for their accuracy, clarity, and ability to transport readers directly into the heart of a destination. I believe a well-crafted travel guide should not only provide logistical information but also paint a vivid picture of the local culture, history, and people.

In addition to my writing, I’m a strong advocate for responsible and sustainable travel. I strive to encourage ethical tourism that supports local economies and preserves the natural and cultural heritage of the places I write about. As a frequent speaker at travel writing conferences and workshops, I share my experiences and insights with aspiring writers and fellow travelers, emphasizing the importance of mindful exploration.

When I’m not on the road or writing about my travels, you’ll find me Hiking or taking pictures of natures wonderful beauty. Travel has taught me that the world is vast, yet incredibly interconnected, and I aim to inspire others to see it with open eyes and a respectful heart.
