My Profile

A lobster bake on a Maine island on the Fourth of July; a 6,000-mile coast-to-coast road trip in a camper van; bear-watching in Yellowstone National Park: these experiences were highlights of British-born Paul Wade’s student year in Massachusetts. He then went on to write on travel regularly for Essentially America, UK national newspapers, international magazines and guidebooks, as well as broadcasting for the BBC. Specialist areas stretch from New England to Florida; and in 2018 he roamed across the USA gathering material in California, Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri. Coming up next? A road trip with his son to explore legendary Blues venues – in a convertible with the radio on full blast! With Kathy Arnold, he shared the Visit USA Travel Writer of the Year award (2016).
