I create adventure, travel, and editorial content for brands, destinations, and publications. My aim is to produce clear, engaging, and meticulously researched writing that connects with readers and reflects your voice.
Whether you’re a brand, a small travel business, or a publication, if words and images are central to how you communicate, I can help.
If you’d like to discuss a project, license my images, or chat about travel content, connect with me on LinkedIn or email me at info@matthewtraver.com.
My work spans a wide range of formats — from interviews, how-to articles, and gear features to multimedia stories, destination listicles, long-form editorial, monographs, and full-length guidebooks. I’ve written for international magazines, specialist outdoor brands, and news outlets. View my published work.
Before focusing on writing, I worked in the adventure travel industry, organising and managing over 400 trekking and cultural trips. Alongside my editorial work, I’ve built a steadily growing archive of high-resolution imagery and video shot across Eurasia. My visual media focuses on landscapes, cultural scenes, and people, and is available for editorial and commercial licensing.
Many of my images were captured over the course of a dozen personal travel projects and expeditions — from packrafting a section of the Yenisei River in Siberia to trekking in Afghanistan. Browse my photo galleries to see the collection, or check out a selection of travel and adventure films I’ve shot and edited, some of which have screened at more than 30 international festivals.
