Hi, I'm Blake. I go places.

I started Drop Everything And Go because every travel guide I read felt like it was written by someone who'd never actually been there — or worse, someone who had been there for free and couldn't say anything honest about it.

I'm a university student. I book my own flights, pay for my own hotels, and eat at the places that look good rather than the ones that sent a press release. Everything on this site comes from that.

The blog is the heart of it — real trip reports with real costs, the things worth doing and the things you can skip. The Salzburg post below is the first. More are coming.

If a guide here helps you plan something brilliant, that's the whole point. And if you want someone to plan it for you — that's what the services page is for.
