dinab's information

I'm a travel writer, a rancher and an avid roadtripper, going on long roadtrips that explore the out-of-the-way places around the world. When not in a car, I'm either writing or on horseback, my other favorite mode of transportation.

I capture the reveries, the magic, the adventures and the mundane stories of travel.

Horseback riding, literature, the local food and drink in whatever country I'm traveling through, good jokes, laughter, a shot of whisky at just the right time.

Chopin piano concertos, La Boheme, Dire Straits, Paul Simon

The Places In Between by Rory Stewart; Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh; Life of Pi by Yann Martel

I never run if I can walk, never walk if I can ride a horse.

Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Baghdad Cafe

I reach my lodging for the night and discover there's enough hot water for a shower.

To see, to taste, to hear, to feel, to become part of other parts of the world
