Dear Friend,

There is a soul to Memphis that is unmistakable. My last visit was a few years ago and I can remember it like it was yesterday. Sun Studios, the BBQ, The Peabody, Elvis are a few of my fond memories.  Memphis is a city of striking combinations and boundless creativity, a place where passion, ideals, cultures and opportunity converge in authentic ways. Memphis is home to one-of-a-kind experiences that helped change the world and continues to be influential in so many ways. My suggestion, go there...soon.

My name is Erik Hastings, (a.k.a. Erik the Travel Guy) and I am an EMMY award-winning television personality who speaks directly to viewers who simply "get their vacations wrong". In addition to being a single dad of two amazing children, I am the host and managing editor of the internationally syndicated television series "Beyond Your Backyard" for public broadcasting stations (PBS) and other networks/VOD platforms. I am thrilled to be a part of an incredibly talented team of industry pros and the editorial driving force of my media platform.

Through exploration and discovery, I have learned that travel brings cultures together. Read Erik's Full Bio.
