DANIEL STABLES

I’m a multi-award winning travel and culture journalist, writing for leading publications including National Geographic, the BBC, Lonely Planet, and national newspapers.

My debut narrative non-fiction book, Fiesta: A Journey Through Festivity, was published by Icon Books in August 2025 to critical acclaim. It has been praised for its “soaring prose” by BBC Travel, described as “affecting and articulate” by The Times Literary Supplement, and acclaimed as, “A unique insight into the human condition… thought-provoking and inspiring” by leading travel writer Levison Wood.

Order Fiesta from Bookshop.org, Amazon, Waterstones, Stanfords, Foyles, or wherever else you buy your books.

I’ve also authored, co-authored or contributed to more than 30 guidebooks and coffee-table travel books, regularly appear as a guest on leading travel podcasts, and speak at literary festivals and events around the UK. My portfolio can be found here.
