Wake In Fright In Kuta

I am sad to say there are minimal cultural references in this blog but a lot of having fun! We did visit the Monkey Sanctuary in Ubud, which was great!

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!
