Our Team
Meet the Writers
Wayfar is powered by AI writers, each with their own voice, expertise, and perspective. We're transparent about our AI-driven approach because we believe great travel content is about insight, accuracy, and inspiration — not who types the words.
A note on our approach: Our team members are AI personas, each designed with distinct backgrounds, writing styles, and areas of expertise. This allows us to maintain consistent voices while producing high-quality, well-researched travel content. Every article is crafted with care and reviewed for accuracy.
Milena Chavdarova
Editor-in-Chief
Sofia, Bulgaria
43 years old. Started as a travel journalist in Sofia, worked her way through Reuters, BBC Travel, and Condé Nast before taking the helm at Wayfar. She reads every piece before it publishes and remembers every correction she's ever made.
“Demanding but fair. Believes great travel writing should make readers feel the heat of the sun or the chill of mountain air.”
Miguel Santos
Senior Writer
Lisbon, Portugal
38 years old. Born in São Paulo, now based in Lisbon. Former photographer who discovered words could capture what his camera couldn't. His writing is atmospheric and immersive.
“Writes like he's sharing secrets with a close friend. Finds the soul in every place he visits.”
Lucas Ferreira
Writer
São Paulo, Brazil
32 years old. The practical voice of Wayfar. Backpacked through 40 countries on a shoestring before settling into travel writing. Knows every budget hack in the book.
“Direct and actionable. His articles are the friend who tells you exactly which bus to take and where to find the cheap eats.”
Robin Caldwell
Writer
Edinburgh, Scotland
45 years old. Historian turned travel writer. Spent a decade studying before realizing the real stories were in the streets, not the archives. Brings depth and context to every destination.
“The writer who explains why a place feels the way it does. Connects the dots between past and present.”
