MEET STEVE

Hi, I'm Steve, the founder of Backpacking for Beginners. I've experienced how amazing traveling around the world is and now I want to help you experience it too.

I left England in 2009 to travel the world. It was the first time I had been out of Europe, but I spent the best part of two years traveling the globe and have been traveling on and off since then. In fact, I even spent time working as a 'travel expert' (RIP STA Travel!).

Taking that first step was very nerve-wracking for me, but it was the best thing I ever did. Now I want to help you live the dream!
