In an industry where beautiful images are everywhere, words are what make a property memorable. David Batzofin understands this better than most. An award-winning travel writer, broadcaster and storyteller, David brings decades of experience in theatre, radio and print to every piece he writes — crafting narratives that don’t just describe a place, but make readers feel what it’s like to be there.
What David often fails to mention is that he has a Marketing Diploma, so he understands his clients’ needs and will put them front and centre.
Through his acclaimed travel blog Travel & Things, and his commissioned work for lodges and guest houses across Southern Africa, David specialises in immersive, emotive storytelling that captures atmosphere, personality and soul. His writing doesn’t read like marketing copy; it reads like a lived experience — the kind that builds trust, inspires bookings and keeps properties top of mind long after the page is closed.
With 25 years of radio presenting skills as a talk show host, David offers his clients the opportunity to be interviewed on this YouTube platform.
Those who have been guests describe his style as empathetic and caring.
