CHAD DOBACK...

I’m Chad. I’ve always been curious about how people live.

​

I plan my trips heavily so I can have freedom once I’m there. I like knowing what matters in a place ahead of time, but I don’t treat it like a checklist. I’ll hit some of the known spots, skip others, and adjust based on what actually feels worth it once I’m in it.

​

I’m into places that feel like themselves. Busy cities, quieter spots, long-standing places that people return to without thinking. I like sitting somewhere, watching how things move, and noticing what people are actually there for.

​

Food is a big part of it, but it’s not the whole thing. It’s just how I get into a place. From there, it’s everything else. The routines, the energy, the details most people miss, and the things that actually stay with you after you leave.

​

I don’t try to force everything into one trip. I move with some pace, take things in, and if something stands out, I spend time with it. That’s usually what ends up being worth remembering and worth sharing.

​

That’s also how I approach documenting it. I pay attention to what naturally draws people in, what makes a place, hotel, or experience feel distinct, and how to show it in a way that feels real and worth experiencing.
