Dana Yewbank is a Staff Travel Writer at Yahoo Travel, covering budget travel, long-haul flights, solo exploring, road-tripping and off-the-beaten-path itineraries. With 42 states, 15 countries and four continents logged, Dana has been criss-crossing the globe since 2010 and spends almost as much time on the road as she does at home. They’ve done roughly a dozen cross-country U.S. trips via road and rail, and mastered the art of surviving jet lag from multiple transatlantic flights per year. With a special skill for scoring luxe travel experiences on a budget, Dana’s on a mission to permanently bust the myth that traveling is only for rich people. From 2015 to 2020, Dana worked as a traveling musician, performing on some of the most legendary stages in the U.S., from the House of Blues in New Orleans to the Crystal Ballroom in Portland. Dana has cold-plunged in the Oslo Fjord in the middle of winter, studied herbalism with traditional medicine practitioners in the Colombian cloud forest and, at just 20 years old, backpacked solo 1,000+ miles across New Zealand. A published poet, essayist and songwriter, Dana’s work has been featured by the Bluegrass Situation, Good Country, 4AD Records, NPR, Witchology Magazine and KLOF Magazine (formerly Folk Radio U.K.).
