Daniel Baylis is a writer and photographer. For the past decade, he has embarked upon unusual global adventures that have included walking across Israel/Palestine, riding a bicycle across India, and writing poetry in Cuba.

His most recent travel memoir, Wild Birds, is a love letter to peace — recounting his 1,000-km walk across the Middle East, the people he encountered, and the lessons he learned along the way. Daniel's new collection of poetry, entitled This is a Landscape, is available now.

In his spare time, Daniel enjoys bouldering, documentary films, cooking soups, and staring at clouds.

O…moreIf you're interested in writing, my best advice is simple: write regularly. Set up a realistic schedule and practice meeting self-imposed deadlines. Once you have some content, publish it. Anywhere really, but think about where people read similar content. Then start reaching out to other writers who share your genre. Continue nurturing a community. Write something bigger. The biggest roadblock will be stopping. Just keep writing. (less)
