Hi, I'm Robb. I live on holiday. Welcome to 'Backpack Bob. No, I didn’t quit my job and sell everything to travel the world.

I initially funded travel by working abroad. But that doesn’t mean I’m here to help you save money. Nor am I here or to help you travel 'smarter'. Honestly- I just enjoy writing about the places I’ve been. It’s more of a memoir for myself, to look back on in the future. But if you find my guides useful, then you are very welcome here.

My journey started in 2016 when I decided not to return from a one-month vacation. And when the lockdowns happened in 2020. I found myself stranded in Thailand, (where I now live for six months of the year). I used that time to finally start this blog and share my stories. People have often told me I should write a book about my adventures, so this is the next best thing. I'm here for the love, not the money.
