I'm Basak, the writer and photographer behind mintatravels.com — an adventure travel blog exploring California and beyond, one road trip, hike, and hidden gem at a time. I blend storytelling, photography, and practical guides to help curious travelers discover off-the-beaten-path places with depth and intention.

What I Do

Curate road trip itineraries and travel guides with a focus on nature, photography, and local culture
Highlight U.S. destinations like Morro Bay, the Eastern Sierra, and national/state parks with personal insight and stunning visuals
Promote responsible, slower travel through photography-driven storytelling
Partner with brands, tourism boards, and platforms to share honest, SEO-optimized content that inspires readers to explore with curiosity
