Tim McGlone

is a freelance travel writer and ABC reporter with a knack for ending up in places most people struggle to pronounce.

His adventures have taken him from the abandoned streets of Pripyat to the tropical waters of Tonga, with plenty of suss decisions and pizza stops along the way.

He’s a firm believer that the best travel stories rarely go to plan, and that almost any situation can be improved with a decent slice.
