Kyle Battisti

I'm a middle-aged, gay, arguably alcoholic travel writer with a penchant for complicated phrases, top-heavy words, and contemplation of life among unlikely destinations. I'm the author of Somewhere Found: Travels in Obscurity. 

 

Barren Saharan landscapes? Love 'em.

Forsaken Soviet buildings? Ooh-la-la!

Rusty and dilapidated amusement parks? Oh come on, now you're just trying to get in my pants!

​

I'm not an influencer: I make too many dumb mistakes that I'd rather not bequeath to others. Moreover, you'll rarely find selfies of me, much less of the Instagram type: insouciant sun hat, color-corrected smile, a candid moment picked out of fifty tries.

 

I'm a cynic and a curmudgeon. And I like to travel.
