Welcome!


Welcome to The Brutally Honest Traveler! This isn’t your typical sugar-coated travel blog with insta-worthy photos of beach sunsets and clichés about “finding yourself”
and long lists of “places to stay in X” when the writer has never personally stayed in all of those places. Nope, we’re here to spill the tea on what travel actually is like—fun, yes, but also sweaty, stressful,
and occasionally disappointing. I’ll tell you which spots are worth the hype, which ones are overrated tourist traps, and which “hidden gems” are hidden for a reason.
So enjoy—I always keep it real!
