GORDON TRAVELS
In June of 2019, I embarked on my content creation journey—not just to document the places I visit, but to capture the essence of each destination, the untold stories hidden within every street, and the unforgettable souls I meet along the way.
At the time of writing this, I have travelled to 23+ countries and counting, with my favourite places being: Spain, Scotland, the United States, Latvia and Tunisia.
Although I would consider those my favourite places, I have loved every country I have visited for its unique reasons. I believe one day I would like to achieve the goal of visiting every country in the world, but I am in no rush to do this, as travel should be about the quality of the experience vs. the quantity of places you have been.
My passion for travel was partially inspired by my late father, Reno, who has been to many countries and who has been my biggest supporter in chasing my dreams.

In 1993, I took my first ever flight and I can still remember myself sitting in the window seat looking outside, all excited into the unknown towards an undiscovered territory. That moment I put on the safety belt (with a little bit of help lol), that unlocked my love and passion for traveling (Yep, I got the travel bug :D).
In 2001, I worked abroad in Perthshire, Scotland as an apprentice chef, which continued to enhance my passion for traveling after getting a small taste of what this world has to offer by living alone away from my family and meeting people from all walks of life, exploring new cultures and absorbing new experiences. It was another world than now, as back then, there was no social media, all I had (and still have) was my Canon IXUS 2 compact photo camera, where I documented everything possible.
As video cameras got better and smaller, I ultimately found myself wishing I had more memories than just photos (back then, developed photos).
I quickly realized how much fun it would be to make some travel montages of my holidays to remember some of the experiences more clearly.
As life went on and I returned from Scotland, I continued making videos which I shared with family and friends at that time.
In October 2019 after working in the catering world, I went on a trip to Latvia and I created a couple of YouTube videos (vlogs style). It was this moment that I realized how much I enjoyed making travel videos. When I got back to Malta, I focused on creating raw authentic content about Malta and the locals… but that’s not it!
I want to create worldwide content because as my tagline says “I’m Curious About What’s in The World”.
The next question is how do I turn this into my reality?
The answer: By becoming a full-time creator… and that’s my next goal.
Fast forwarding time, I have produced over 250+ YouTube videos and hundreds of Facebook, Reels, and TikTok videos resulting in over 3,000,000 (million) aggregate views on all the platforms. (These are my stats as of April 2025.)

As I continue to grow my presence in the world of travel content, my mission is simple yet powerful: to create meaningful content that adds value and shifts perspectives. Every story I share, every video I post, is rooted in a desire to help people see the beauty of our world—and the shared humanity that connects us all.
The more I travel, the more I realize that kindness, hospitality, and human connection are universal. No matter where I go, these values shine through, reminding me that we have far more in common than we often believe.
Thank you for visiting my little corner of the internet. Wishing you a beautiful day and, as always—happy travels!

Who is Gordon Travels?
Hi, I’m Gordon, and I got my first taste for traveling when I was 11 years old. On my own, at 16 years of age and after 23+ something countries later, my wanderlust has only grown and the list of countries I want to visit longer. After living in Scotland and Spain and returning home, I started creating content in Malta, where I am currently based, but creating content worldwide is next. Follow my explorations as I wander, eat, chatter and make my way around the world.
