Max is the editor and publisher of GoNOMAD Travel, where he has been telling stories from the road for more than two decades. He got his start at a small weekly, then a daily and sold advertising for a daily paper for many years. Since 2000, he has reported from dozens of countries across Europe, Asia and the Americas, focusing on the kind of immersive, first‑hand travel that reveals how people really live. Max’s work blends on‑the‑ground reporting with practical, traveler‑tested advice. He has interviewed chefs, bus drivers, innkeepers, and everyday locals and explored destinations ranging from small New England towns to remote corners of Greenland and South America. His writing has appeared in regional newspapers, national outlets, and across the GoNOMAD network. In addition to his editorial work, Max hosts the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast. He is also a columnist for the Greenfield Recorder, where he writes about travel, community, and life in Western Massachusetts. Max lives in South Deerfield, Massachusetts and still travels frequently. Visit his blog at MaxHartshorne.com
