About Me

About Me

Hi, I'm Robb, and I live on vacation. Welcome to 'Backpack Bob'. I didn’t quit my job and sell everything to travel the world. And I didn't quit my job.

I initially funded travel by working abroad. But that doesn’t mean I’m here to save you money. 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. For the love, not the money.
