Hey, I’m Taz Zaidi.

I’m a travel writer from the United States. I prefer to travel at a slower pace to absorb local culture and enjoy more of what a country and region have to offer. I’ve explored more than 80 countries so far, and plan to visit them all by 2036.

My favorite aspects of travel include: tasting local cuisine, visiting archaeological and other historic sites, multi-day trekking, various water sports, learning languages and volunteering for local causes. Feel free to contact me directly:


Some of my travel experiences include:

  • Road tripped and camped across Iceland

  • Scuba dived around Galapagos Islands

  • Motorbike trip across Vietnam’s length
