Here are six you should follow immediately.Name: David Prior, @davidpriorFollowers: 17,100Lives: New York CityWhat he’s known for: His work as Contributing International Editor at Conde Nast Traveler. He’s also a regular contributor to the New York Times, Financial Times and various editions of Vogue.How he got started writing: “As a student purely to pay for my problematic travel dependency. Writing has always been a way for me to satisfy my curiosity about people, tastes and places and it remains so. Having to document my travel and thinking about how to curate the best experience of a place for the reader pushes me to do more, be adventurous and often just say yes to going down the rabbit hole or maybe kissing a frog rather than just laying by the pool. Vogue gave me a chance and it has grown from there. Now I spend much of my life living on the road and out of my suitcase.“Where you can read about his travels: Conde Nast Traveler, Vogue Living, T, Bon AppetitLast trip: MoroccoNext trip: “The Kimberly, a remote region of Northwest Australia.“Sign up for our daily newsletterEmail addressSign upI would like to subscribe to The Points Guy newsletters and special email promotions.
