Meet Brett Harriman

the face behind "Harriman Travel Books"

Brett Harriman grew up in the abundantly appealing seaside town of Dana Point, California, and was fortunate enough to have parents who dragged their kids with them everywhere they went, including on overseas vacations. Thus, the travel bug kicked in early.

Brett has driven across America, trekked around Australia, and explored Europe. He lived in the Australian state of New South Wales for a decade and in Europe for five years, where he was an official tour guide for the U.S. Armed Forces in Germany. In that role, Brett escorted more than 10,000 servicemen and women and their families through many historically rich cities, towns, villages and Alpine hamlets.

When he is not in Europe sleuthing out the latest travel information or on tour promoting “Harriman Travel Books,” Brett spends his time in Pahrump (60 miles west of Las Vegas), Nevada, where his parents have retired and he finds serene sanctuary to compile and compose all that you see and read on this site.
