My Journey My name is Dave Lee (@rtwdave), and pursuing my travel dreams has taken me to 35 countries. From the black sand beaches of Tahiti to the Himalaya of Nepal, I blogged my way around the world for 20 months. I began the Go Backpacking blog in January 2007, while working as a Customer Service Manager for a health insurance company. As I studied best practices and built relationships with bloggers, my social life went down the drain. When it came time to travel, I applied everything I learned and built Go Backpacking into one of today’s top travel blogs.

Feedback from the TBS Community Caz Caz Makepeace yTravelBlog Before starting Travel Blog Success I had no idea how to make money with a travel blog. I was actually pretty scared of it. Now I am confident enough to not just approach advertisers, but to negotiate with them deals that work in my favour. And I have landed some pretty impressive press trips as well. Wes Brock G.
