Hi, I’m Darren Cronian and I am the editor of the Travel Rants blog. I don’t travel as much as I would like but I’ve visited Sydney, Port Douglas and Hobart in Australia, Malaysia, and around Europe to places like Oslo, Prague and Latvia.

I started writing on the Travel Rants blog in 2005 after a frustrating experience booking a holiday in the high street and have since written articles covering a wide range of issues and topics affecting travel consumers.

My aim is to make Travel Rants in to a popular destination for travel consumers, where they can receive advice, ask questions and join in discussions and leave comments.

The internet is a great place for consumers to research their holiday and just like many consumers use sites like Trip Advisor when looking for hotel reviews; I hope that they will visit Travel Rants for holiday planning advice.
