About Me
My name’s Rory Moulton. I’m a travel writer and editor living in the Colorado Rockies with my wife and son. When away from my desk, I’m passionate about European travel and the great outdoors.
I travel independently on a ground-level budget. I'm on a perpetual quest for "Smarter European Travel." Smart travel means:
- Being prepared and in the moment while always staying ready for a healthy dose of spontaneity.
- Eating and shopping like a local at markets and family run restaurants.
- Skipping tourist traps...all of them
- Staying a step ahead of tour groups.
- Picnicking in parks, piazza, alpine meadows, cliff-side beaches and church steps.
- Riding public transportation, overnight trains and ferries.
- Finding the charming nooks and crannies that tourists miss.
If that sounds about right to you, then you’ll love my books, newsletter and website. They’re dedicated to helping European travelers avoid crowds and tourist traps while having authentic experiences.
