Tim has been hooked on travel since his first backpacking trip at 19 and has visited over 50 countries since. Along the way, he's called Vietnam, Syria, and Chile home (plus the UK, where he's originally from!). He loves getting off the beaten path and experiencing the real culture of a place beyond the tourist hotspots. He squeezes in as much travel as he can around his 9-to-5 job. He started Travels off the Cuff to make trip planning less of a headache (he hates planning holidays!) and to share the tips he's picked up along the way.
