Spencer Spellman
Whiskey Tango Globetrot Writer and photographer

Flying on a plane for the first time at age five and by himself for the first time at age seven, Spencer has been traveling ever since, unable to kick neither his travel habit, nor his southern drawl. Armed with a philosophy degree and a love for travel, Spencer welded these two passions together several years ago to create what's become a travel lifestyle for himself. Originally getting his start in the travel industry as a writer and editor for a travel guide publisher, Spencer has since been freelancing for the last three years as a writer, editor, and consultant to the travel industry, using his travel blog,
The Traveling Philosopher, to build his brand. Brands and publications he has worked and been featured in has included National Geographic Traveler, Southern Hospitality Magazine, Drink Me Magazine, Travel + Escape, AOL Travel and Expedia.
