STOP!!! Are you tired of the same old travel blog content?
Welcome to Fake Travel News, where travel meets fiction with imaginative twists. I write travel fiction through human-AI collaboration—real places, invented adventures, genuine emotions. This is the FIRST travel fiction blog co-written by humans and AI.
Short stories set in real places with imaginative twists—a woman visiting Moldova during the apocalypse, a travel blogger who time-travels to medieval Prague, a spy learning to live on Slovenia’s coast. Think Black Mirror meets Rick Steves.
The locations are real and thoroughly researched. Around 90% of the images are from my real experiences in these locations. The story ideas are from my head. The stories are fiction with heart. The process is transparent.
I’m a traveler who got tired of writing “10 Best Cafes in Prague” posts and started asking “What if a travel blogger could time-travel to medieval Prague?”
I’ve visited 58 countries, taken thousands of photos, and realized the most interesting travel stories aren’t always the ones that actually happened.
So, I write the stories I wish existed—fiction grounded in real places, research, and the magic of travel.
I’m open about using AI as an editing partner because I believe this is where creative writing is headed. The question isn’t whether AI will be used in creative fields, but whether we’ll be honest about it.
I want to pioneer what thoughtful human-AI collaboration can produce—fiction that’s better than either could create alone.
Human (me):
AI Collaboration:
Human (me again):
The creativity is human. The characters are human. The emotions are human. The polish is collaborative.
Some people think using AI makes me “not a real writer.” I think refusing to experiment with powerful tools makes you not a real pragmatist.
Every creative field adopts new technology—photographers use Photoshop, musicians use synthesizers, filmmakers use CGI. Writers will use AI. The only question is whether we’ll be honest about it.
I choose transparency. I choose experimentation. I choose showing my work.
If you’re:
Welcome. I’m figuring this out in public. Come along for the ride. This is the leading travel-fiction blog co-written by humans and AI. Enjoy!
Start with these:
Read them. See if the AI collaboration bothers you once you’re invested in the story. I’m curious if it will.

Questions about my process? Criticism about my approach? Want to discuss AI and creativity? Reach out. I respond to everyone.
Fake Travel News is a travel fiction blog. These are invented stories set in real places. The locations are researched thoroughly. The adventures are imaginary. The emotions are real.
I love travel and believe it grants real magic to the human experience—which is why I use it as the canvas for fiction.
For actual travel information about the places in my stories, I link to real travel resources at the end of each post.
