Journals

Join Dave as he travels solo around the world on his blog, GoBackpacking.com .   Filled with his experiences, planning strategies for saving, as well as his hopes and fears, Dave carries his readers along for an incredible journey through the glaciers of New Zealand, beaches of Thailand, Himalayas of Nepal, jungles of Brazil, and more. Dave provides his followers with interactive info: posting new polls, tracking the number of days abroad, and posting remarkable images from his travels.    The blog is full of great content for those looking to visit similar places. For example, one post I found just as fascinating as helpful was his "Final Thoughts on Egypt" where Dave tells his story of greedy tour guides, and even reveals tips on how to avoid their scams. He's also got some lovely pictures of the Pyramids (as seen below), the local markets, and of course the cuisine. At the end of each adventure Dave summarizes with a breakdown of the costs involved, what food he enjoyed, plus highlights and lowlights of the trip.        To read about Dave's latest trip through Columbia, visit his blog on GoBackpacking.com . Here he even gets to ride a cable car!
