Oliver Dante Garcia

I'm Oli, co-creator of The Songbird, and I am an independent journalist focusing on underground travel, culture, and politics. I find the world's most revealing stories are found at its edges, where lived reality diverges most from the headlines. My work is about uncovering these stories that mainstream outlets won't tell.

Dawud Mustifa

I'm Dawud, and I'm a travel writer and independent journalist whose work is grounded in firsthand experience in under-reported and remote regions around the globe. I document everyday life, cultural norms, and social realities that are often overlooked, alongside the political and structural forces that shape them. I began travelling at a young age, and had visited 85 countries before the age of 20, experience that continues to inform how I approach travel writing and field journalism.
