Danielle Byers

FOUNDER

Hi, I’m Danielle, the heart behind Folklore & Romance and a devoted lover of romance books, folklore, and mythology. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been enchanted by the power of stories—especially those that celebrate love, magic, and the beauty of everyday moments. I believe in romanticizing life, whether that’s through the grandiose gestures of a love story or the small, poetic details that make each day magical.

My fascination with mythology, especially the tales of goddesses like Aphrodite, has been a constant source of inspiration. Her embodiment of love, beauty, and passion resonates deeply with me, and I’ve woven these themes into the journeys I create. Through Folklore & Romance, I aim to capture the magic of romance and myth, offering trips that transport travelers into the worlds of timeless stories and ancient legends.

My love for travel began with a trip to Australia when I was nine years old. Since then, I have traveled to places like Crete in Greece where I immersed myself within the myths and beliefs of the ancient Greek civilization. I lived in England for three years where I explored a myriad of castles, ruins, and the homes of many of my favorite writers. I created Folklore & Romance for those who, like me, love to blend fantasy with reality and long to experience the world through the lens of love and wonder. Let’s explore these stories together and romanticize life, one adventure at a time!
