Welcome to Minta Travels! I’m Basak, a photographer, adventurer, and road trip enthusiast based in the charming coastal town of Los Osos, California. Nestled in the heart of the Central Coast, this is where I plan, dream, and launch my adventures. From scenic routes like 101 North and 395 North to the breathtaking landscapes of California, Arizona, Utah, and beyond, my travels are all about uncovering hidden gems and sharing the beauty of the outdoors with you.
Who I Am
For over a decade, I’ve been traveling across California, Arizona, Utah, and beyond, discovering rugged hiking trails, serene camping spots, and photogenic landscapes. Along the way, I’ve also uncovered charming small towns, off-the-beaten-path adventures, and cozy, unique places to stay.
My trusty four-wheel camper has been my constant companion. It allows me to explore remote trails, peaceful campsites, and iconic viewpoints. Whether I’m camping under the stars, strolling through a quaint downtown, or attending a local event, I approach every trip with curiosity and a sense of wonder.
Balancing a full-time job with my love for travel has taught me how to plan efficiently. I understand how challenging it can be to make time for adventure. That’s why I created Minta Travels—to help you save time, find inspiration, and turn your travel dreams into reality.
