David Smith is a freelance travel writer specializing in destinations for travellers that are easily accessible from the southeastern United States.
He has bloged about Franklin, TN, for Collinson Publishing and was the Nashville Budget Travel writer for Examiner.com. He got his start in travel writing by keeping a journal on a three week road trip from Richmond, Virginia, to Guyamas, Mexico, when he was 8 years old. It was almost 20 years later when people started paying him to write at Around the Tower in St. Louis, MO, which he turned into the Dave’s Cheap Eats blog.
Now, based in Nashville and available for assignments throughout the southeastern United States and North America, he seeks out new ways to tell the story of place in a manner that creates a desire to travel. He is currently writing about the truth, trials, and trysts that Dads face when traveling at Travel Dads.
