We design moments for you, with easy-to-follow directions, so that you can experience our favorite moments with the cities we love, combined and based around the popular sites that, let’s face it, you were going to see anyway. I want nothing more than for you to see the sites, but also to experience the city and its people in their truest form. However, these maps are also left with an element that is purposely vague, because if, along the way, some off-trail person or place calls your name, you follow the first rule of Stephen Rountree Travel, and break-trail to answer that call. 

Mostly though, I’m a travel writer, and as such, I want to offer you an in-depth look at the cities I love, because like any good first date, the deeper you get to know one-another, the longer the relationship grows and lasts. It’s in this underneath of things that the magic lies. There’s no more practical way to fall in love than to get to know someone or, in this case, some place. That’s why my ultra clever tag line is...

Frequently Asked Questions:  
 

Who are you?

I'm a travel writer trying to find the very best in what good travel brings out. 

What do you do?
I write about finding real moments and memories that last long after the departure flight lands back home. So whether day or night, good or bad, we always have those moments in reserve. 

What is the goal of Travel with Stephen Rountree?
To make lives more beautiful by showing good travel that combines both the famous historical sites people are going to visit no matter what with enchanting modern experiences. 

Who is your target audience?  
Anyone who only has a few days in a city and wants to do famous attractions plus real-life modern culture found nowhere else but in that city. 

What was the genesis behind the idea for the company? 
Hoping to give people the kinds of evenings I’ve found in Paris that still haven’t ended because they’ve stayed with me. 

Why should we care about another travel blog?
Because too many people spend thousands of dollars and months in planning and logistical rearranging of life only to spend their days in a new city, in line, in crowds, and in a situation that will only be forgotten. Enchantment and unforgettable times with friends and family exist just around the corner, if only you know where to look, and how to get there. 

What makes Travel with Stephen Rountree different from what's on the market today? What makes you unique?
I share good travel experiences not just with a typical drive-by-paragraph or top ten unrelated bakeries spread across Paris, which, once there, are unpractical to get to or nowhere near the famous sites people aren’t going to go without, but I write about travel moments through story, stringing together a series of historical and modern European places and people, which are all, like good stories, related by closeness in geography, theme, or history.
