MEET STEVE
Hi! I’m Steve, the founder of Backpacking for Beginners, and if you want to travel the world, but don’t know how to start planning it, then I am here to give you a helping hand!
Back in 2009, I had barely left my home in England when I decided to pack everything in and travel the world. I had no idea what I was doing, or how to go about it, but I somehow muddled my way through and spent two years exploring the globe.
I’ve been traveling around the world on and off since then. Plucking up the courage to get on a plane one wet day in September 2009 changed my life and was the best thing I have ever done.
Now I want to help you live the dream too!
