Dom Burch, Slow Travel & Culture Writer

Dom Burch is BaldHiker’s Slow Travel and Culture Writer, bringing a storyteller’s eye and a marketer’s mind to every journey.

Based in West Yorkshire, Dom’s writing is fuelled by a lifelong passion for travel and a deep interest in how people connect through shared experiences and authentic moments.

His unique perspective is shaped by over 14 years at retail giant Asda, where he served as Head of PR and Social Media.

This background in brand storytelling now informs his travel writing, allowing him to capture the essence of a place in a way that truly resonates.

His articles on BaldHiker focus on immersive, down-to-earth experiences—the kind that don’t require a 5-star hotel, just a good pair of shoes and a love of slow travel.

From exploring eco-retreats in Portugal to the coastal charm of Essaouira in Morocco, his stories often centre on family trips, local food, and reflections that linger long after the bags are unpacked.  

In addition to his writing, Dom hosts the Coach Class podcast, where he interviews creative changemakers, and plays an active role in his local community as chair of Bradford Community Broadcasting.

He believes in travel as a force for connection and wellbeing—and that the best adventures are the ones that truly stay with you.
