My Story

Authentic Travel with Daniel Reed

Hi there! I’m Daniel Reed, and welcome to my corner of the internet, Coffee Tea Travels.

I’ll never forget the aroma of cardamom swirling through Delhi’s chai stalls. That moment, seven years ago, didn’t just spark an interest—it ignited an obsession, a deep-seated yearning for travel that feels real, something beyond guidebooks and the well-trodden tourist trails.

It set me off on a journey that would fundamentally change the way I see the world. From sharing chai with strangers in that bustling market to getting lost (and loving it) in a hidden Venetian alley, I’ve learned that the best travel experiences aren’t meticulously planned – they’re deeply felt.

I believe that travel isn’t just about seeing places; it’s about experiencing them with all your senses. 

Have you ever tasted a dish so good it transported you to another place? Or stumbled upon a café, perhaps over a perfectly brewed local coffee or tea, so charming you wished you could stay forever?

That’s what travel is about for me, and that’s what I want to share with you.

I’m not your typical tourist. I’m the guy who seeks out the secret sunrise spots the locals whisper about, finds the back-alley cafés brewing the best coffee, and embraces the unexpected encounters that turn fleeting moments into lifelong memories. I’ve wandered through the vibrant spice markets of Marrakech, felt the ancient stones of Kyoto beneath my feet, and listened to the wind whisper stories across the vast plains of Patagonia.

My approach to travel is simple: I want to peel back the layers of a place. I’m driven by curiosity, a desire to connect, and a passion for capturing the heartbeat of cultures. I want to bring you along on my journeys, to share the authentic experiences that have shaped my understanding of the world.
