Hi there, I’m Robb, Aka "BackPack BOB". I have spent the past decade travelling the world and I’ve collected so many untold stories and mishaps along the way. Due to the coronavirus outbreak, I’ve had a lot of time to spare. During the lockdown, I lost my job and instead, put my free time to good use. I fulfilled my dream of starting a travel blog. I’m now one of the first few tourists, currently backpacking across Thailand, after becoming stuck in, and spending three months on lockdown in the country. The country is beautiful but deserted. It's a little strange. I want to share with you what it’s like travelling in South-East Asia after the coronavirus pandemic and I want to share with you how and why I started my travel blog in such a unique time.
