Nate Cruz

Nate Cruz has spent the better part of a decade finding out what happens when you stop following the standard itinerary. A lifelong cruise traveller, he's sailed the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and the Norwegian coast — and learned that the best part of any voyage is almost always the port. His writing focuses on Europe above all: the cities, the coastlines, and the places most travellers fly over on the way to somewhere more obvious. He also covers the American destinations worth doing properly — the Pacific Northwest, New England, the Gulf Coast — when the Atlantic can wait.
